To achieve sustainable export, it isnecessary to have appropriate preparations and be ready to comply with the EGD,which is an urgent requirement for Vietnamese manufacturers and exporters inthe coming time, according to experts.
However, a recent survey by the VCCI showedthat 88-93% of respondents have never heard or have only briefly heard aboutthe deal.
The EGD, launched in 2020, is a package ofpolicy initiatives aiming to set the EU on the path to a green transition, withthe ultimate goal of reaching climate neutrality by 2050.
In fact, since the enforcement of this deal,there have been many green policies that have directly affected foreign goods importedinto this region as well as production and export of products fromVietnam to this market.
Accordingly, Vietnam’s exports forecast tobe most impacted by the green transition process in the EU in the coming timeinclude electric and electronic products, machinery, equipment andcomponents, farm produce, aquatic products, wood and wooden products, iron andsteel, garments, and footwear.
