The northern province of Bac Giang has been taking measures to bring its export turnover to 2.1 billion USD in 2014.

Around 800 million USD of the amount will be contributed by the garment sector, 550 million USD from electronic products, 545 million USD from computers and components, and approximately 51 million USD from farm produce.

Bac Giang has been quickening up the reform of administrative formalities related to tax and customs declarations and investment procedures. It is also planning to attract investment in agriculture, and is encouraging the application of advanced technologies to produce quality agricultural exports.

The province has intensified practical activities to attract investment in its industrial parks and has created favourable conditions for businesses to promote their export projects by facilitating the development of supporting industries.

Besides the upgrade of commercial facilities, the locality is active in boosting trade promotion activities with traditional importers from China, the Republic of Korea, the EU, the US, ASEAN, Japan and new markets of Africa and the Middle East.

Bac Giang-based enterprises have been required to pay more attention to renovating their existing production technologies in order to diversify exports and improve their quality.

According to data released by the provincial Department of Industry and Trade, Bac Giang earned 560 million USD from its exports in the four first months of this year, a 15-percent surge year-on-year. The turnover was mainly from garments (230 million USD), computers and components (150 million USD) and electronic products (148 million USD).-VNA
