About 100 Vietnamese enterprises participated in an event with Central Retail Vietnam and connected online with buyers in Thailand to take advantage of opportunities to export directly to the Thai market without intermediaries.
The domestic market is billed as a fulcrum for local enterprises which are facing formidable challenges as the development of the COVID-19 pandemic has had serious impacts on export markets, with postponed or cancelled orders, according to Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Do Thang Hai.
Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has affirmed that the Vietnamese Government will continue to always create favourable conditions for foreign firms to do business in Vietnam, including those from Japan.
The HCM City Department of Trade and Industry has launched a new programme called “Promotion of Vietnamese Goods” to support farmers’ produce, including vegetables, fruits, poultry, meat and seafood.
The Mekong Delta provinces and Ho Chi Minh City signed an agreement on supply-demand connectivity and market stabilisation for 2019 during a conference in Long An province on December 19.
The “Vietnamese Goods Identification - Proud of Vietnamese Goods” programme 2018 will enter a new period of development, with focus on promoting connectivity between producers and distributors for product and market growth.
The campaign “Vietnamese people use Vietnamese goods” has received a
warm response from local enterprises and consumers since its launch by
the Party’s Political Bureau in 2009.
The Investment and Trade Promotions Centre (ITPC) in HCM City has
announced this year’s export promotion campaigns in the seven key
markets of the US, Europe, Japan, Cambodia, Myanmar, China and Laos.
More than 100 products and services developed by Vietnamese businesses
were honoured as reliable and trustworthy this year in a ceremony held
on Dec. 25.
HCM City will persist with its campaign to promote consumption of
Vietnamese goods this year, and its success so far has been encouraging,
a local official says.
Vietnamese businesses’ overseas
investment activities have been actively implemented with satisfactory
results, helping boost the export and consumption of Vietnamese goods
in foreign countries, said an official from the Ministry of Planning
and Investment (MPI).
Phan Huu Thang, Director of
the MPI’s Foreign Investment Agency, said the recent rapid increase of
offshore investment activities is in line with the national economic development and the
country’s international economic integration.
