Vietnam’s export sector is entering a crucial transition, facing both fierce global price competition and new sustainability requirements.
Vietnam’s exports grew over 16% year-on-year to 368 billion USD by mid-October, narrowing the gap with last year’s total of 405 billion USD, according to the Department of Customs.
In August alone, exports surged to approximately 43.4 billion USD, a 14.5% increase compared to the same period last year.
The EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) is a powerful catalyst for growth, helping both countries navigate global challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical tensions, and inflation.
The United States remained Vietnam’s largest export market with turnover reaching 57.2 billion USD.
Since the two countries elevated their relationship to a strategic partnership in 2015, Malaysia’s exports to Vietnam have soared by around 160%.
In 2016, approximately 4.5 million Vietnamese were residing in 109 countries and territories. Today, the figures have risen to over 6 million and more than 130, respectively. Once focused on small-scale trade, many OV entrepreneurs now own major retail centres and operate extensive wholesale networks, boosting the availability of Vietnamese products abroad.
Among Vietnam’s tra fish products, the U.S. is increasingly importing processed tra fish, with its added value soaring 8.5 times compared to the same period last year.
The Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), which has helped generate impressive growth of Vietnam’s exports in the last five years, still has great potential for exploitation, according to experts.
