Vietnam’s exports rose 4.7 percent year-on-year in the first ten months of this year to over 229 billion USD, for a trade surplus of a record 18.7 billion USD, according to latest report by the General Statistics Office.
The industry and trade sector is exerting all-out efforts to achieve the target of 300 billion USD in export turnover this year in the context that the COVID-19 pandemic is seriously affecting global trade.
The agriculture ministry has devised measures to turn Vietnam into one of the world’s most 15 developed countries in terms of agriculture by 2030, and among the top 10 farm produce processing hubs.
