Soc Trang (VNA) – The Mekong Delta province of Soc Trang, despite COVID-19, recorded 1.05 billion USD worth of exports during January – October, the highest number to date.

The export value represented an annual increase of 14 percent and surpassed the target for 2021 by 5 percent.

Key earners included aquatic products, rice, and apparel, which reeled in 835 million USD, 183 million USD, and 12 million USD, respectively.

Also in the ten months, the province’s industrial production value was estimated at 23.23 trillion VND, meeting 81.51 percent of the yearly plan and up 5.98 percent over the same period in 2020.

The export and production growth was attributable to the provincial Department of Industry and Trade’s efforts to promote production in line with pandemic prevention and control.

Communications campaigns urging firms to boost farm produce distribution in Ho Chi Minh City via the e-commerce platform Sendo.vn and a series of trade promotion activities also contributed to the outcomes./.
