Kien Giang (VNA) – The export turnover of Mekong Delta province of Kien Giang hit over 582 million USD in the first ten months of 2021, meeting 77.7 percent of the year's plan.
Rice was the province’s key product, earning more than 203 million USD. Exports of aquatic products and footwear fetched nearly 201 million USD and over 86.84 million, respectively.
Since the COVID-19 outbreak in mid-July, most of the province’s export enterprises have faced many difficulties in their operation and business activities and many factories and enterprises have to temporarily close. Specifically, enterprises lack raw materials for production and processing, and shortage of labourers due to workers quitting their jobs and disruption of the supply chains. The COVID-19 pandemic made it difficult for local firms to ship products to traditional markets as well as expand consumption to new ones.
However, the COVID-19 pandemic in the province is now under control and the loosening of pandemic prevention measures has created conditions for businesses to gradually restore production and business in new normal conditions. The export market for such items as textiles, footwear, agricultural and aquatic products tend to increase strongly in the last months of the year.
The province focused on supporting businesses in maintaining production and processing especially those in industrial zones to create products for exports.
It also sets up a special working group to remove difficulties ▨for enterprises that were affected by the pandemic in the locality to promote proꦡduction and economic recovery in the new normal state./.
