The sector expects to earn 17 billion USD from exports this year, up 15% from 2015. Phan Thi Thanh Xuan, Secretary General of the Vietnam Leather, Footwear and Handbag Association, said: “The state should devise support policies and tariff incentives as well as establish industrial parks to reduce cost and develop supply chains.
