Hanoi (VNA) – Vietnam’s garment-textile sector sets a target of 39billion USD in export revenue this year, equal to that of 2019, according tothe Vietnam National Textile and Garment Group (Vinatex).

Last year, due to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, theUS-China trade tensions, the trade protectionism and the Brexit, Vietnam’sgarment-textile exports reached only 35 billion USD.

However, the result is still remarkable given the globaldemand dropping over 22 percent.

In 2020, Vietnam was the only among the world’s top fivegarment-textile exporters not to have to cease production.

Vinatex recorded total revenue of 15.5 trillion VND (670.7million USD) and combined profits of 628.9 billion VND, equal to 106 percentand 164.8 percent of the set targets, respectively.

Vinatex Chairman Le Tien Truong suggested the Government cutlong-term interest rates, elaborating that garment-textile firms would find ithard to access loans after a year of low business efficiency.

Enterprises hope for specific policies to be adopted by theGovernment to assist the support industry in the sector, he added.

According to Truong, localities have supported thesustainable and clean production of the garment-textile industry which, hesaid, must follow global rules set for the supply chain.

Under the Government management, the sector has reducednon-production costs, especially those for logistics services through thenational logistics network, and other non-tariff costs./.
