Hong Kong could ease the crunch in fresh food supplies by transporting goods from mainland China by sea, a method which could bring in about 70 per cent of the original volume for vegetables, industry leaders have said.

Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor revealed earlier on Tuesday that the government was considering importing fresh food from the mainland by sea.
