By the end of May, Vietnam's major export markets maintained impressive growth, with six markets increasing by 1 billion USD or more compared to the first five months of 2023, according to the General Department of Vietnam Customs.

High hopes are pinned on Vietnam’s rice exports in 2021 when major export markets such as the Philippines and Africa continue to sign contracts to buy rice from Vietnam, while many others have great demand for fragrant rice and sticky rice – which are advantageous staples of Vietnamese enterprises.

Vietnam bagged 3.3 billion USD from vegetable and fruit exports during January-October, up 15.5 percent from the same time last year. The revenue for the whole 2018 is likely to hit 4 billion USD.
