The purposes of this study were: 1) to study opportunities and obstacles in expanding the exportion of “Phulae” pineapples
to the southwestern province of the People's Republic of China through R3A Road; 2) to study the demand for Phulae pineapples and to survey new market in Southwestern Province of the People's Republic of China.

The samplings were selected by purposive sample method with twenty-four samplings taking from four groups of careers including farmer, factory workers, logistics company and academic staffs. The descriptive analysis was applied for writing the research report.

within the R3A road to reach the two important opportunities including the ASEAN-China Free Trade Agreement which gave the permission to transport vegetables and fruits via R3A route. As such, however, there were four obstacles for Phulae pineapples export: first, the
infrastructure of R3A road in Laos is relatively backward; second, affecting the safety and the efficiency of transportation.

The People's Republic of China has improved tighter standards for examination and quarantine of fruit import and export. Domestic and international competitors of the pineapple market in the People's Republic of China are increased. 2) Chinese market demand for Phulae pineapples export has been increased, but currently only sold in Yunnan province. Thai farmer should expand the export to secondary
city in southwestern the People's Republic of China because this region has the potential to become a new export market for Phulae pineapples in the future.
