Tien Giang (VNA) – The Mekong Delta province of Tien Giang raked in 2.45 billion USD from exports between January and September, increasing 11.15 percent annually and fulfilling 75.4 percent of the yearly plan.

Foreign-invested enterprises accounted for 83.5 percent of the province's total export value.

To avoid disruption in supply chains given complicated developments of the COVID-19 pandemic during the period, local authorities developed a 'three-on-site' production plan for manufacturing enterprises on the principle of prioritising large firms with stable export volumes and export markets, large numbers of workers and ensuring disease prevention and control.

Accordingly, the province had 22 enterprises in and outside industrial zones and clusters that were approved to apply the 'three-on-site' with over 3,600 workers.

In the remaining months of the year, Tien Giang plans to focus on exploiting the potential of its key export earners – such as garment and textiles, bags, food and beverages, while sustaining and supporting the development of products with competitive advantages like farm produce and processed seafood.

The province is striving to earn 3.25 billion USD from exports this year, over 0.25 billion USD higher than the figure in 2020./.
