In the past 8 months, there have been 30 items with export turnover of over 1 billion USD, accounting for nearly 92% of total export turnover. These products have gradually dominated in markets which have signed a Free Trade Agreement with Vietnam. The Ministry of Industry and Trade said Vietnam has had a trade surplus for 3 consecutive months and the export outlook in the third quarter and by the end of the year is considered to be positive. Market connection channels from localities and overseas trade agencies are being promoted to help enterprises proactively plan production and respond flexibly to market fluctuations, the Ministry said.
