July alone witnessed the export turnover of Vietnamese goods to the Chinese market reach more than US$4.56 billion, a decline of 18.4% compared to the previous month.

Vietnamese exports to the northern neighbour during the seven-month period rose by 2.4% to US$30.8 billion against the same period from last year, whilst China is also the country’s rare export market that witnessed positive growth in the reviewed period

The nation’s key export items to China include computers, electronic products and components with turnover reaching US$7.5 billion, representing a rise of 13.6%, and accounting for 24.4% of the overall export proportion, followed by phones and components with more than US$7.1 billion, whilst footwear reached US$1.02 billion.

High export turnover throughout the reviewed period was recorded in categories such as fruit and vegetables, up 128.5%; rice, up 70.3%; cashew nuts, up 33.3%; paper products, up 100.1%; gasoline, up by 48%; and coal of all kinds, up 159.3%.

According to experts, China’s recent reopening since the beginning of the year is expected to create a wealth of opportunities ahead for local businesses, especially those operating in the fruit and vegetables, seafood, fiber, cement, rubber, steel, along with the garment and textile sector.

With regard to export prospects over the remaining months of the year, insiders pointed out that favourable customs clearance at the Vietnam - China border gates coupled with rising consumer demand from the Chinese market will exert a positive impact on export activities moving forward.
