Notably, the US, which accounts for 34.4% of Binh Duong’s exports, recorded a year-on-year decline of 16.8%, the EU 3.4%, Japan 20.2%, China 7.7%, and the Republic of Korea 8.7%.
The declines were attributed to a fall of 20-50% in orders received by local businesses.
Although rosy signs were seen at the end of the third quarter, the number of new orders remained modest.
Over the past time, Binh Duong has actively coordinated with the Ministry of Industry and Trade and Vietnam trade offices abroad to carry out a lot of trade promotion programmes.
This year, the province’s export revenue is estimated to reach 32.9 billion VND, down 5% year-on-year and equal to 86% of the set target, with a trade surplus of about 9 billion USD./.
