Agro-forestry-fishery exports grow 7.8 percent in 7 months
Agro-forestry-fishery exports reached 22.197 billion USD in the first seven months of 2017, up 7.8 percent year on year, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
Vietnam’s exports of agricultural products are expected to face more challenges by the end of the year, so enterprises must follow market developments at home and abroad and improve the quality of their products, according to experts.
The agriculture sector’s export turnover in the first six months of 2018 reached some 20 billion USD, setting a decent pace by meeting half the year’s target of 41 billion USD.
The export turnover of agro-forestry-fishery products in July was estimated at 2.85 billion USD, bringing the total value in the first seven months of 2018 to 22.2 billion USD, a year-on-year rise of 7.8 percent.
