Foreign-invested enterprises accounted for over 62% of the total local export while key local products such as apparel, footwear, handbag and bronze pipe made up 70% of total export.
Tuan said fisheries export topped US$282 million in the nine-month period, marking a 45 percent increase year-on-year. Processed tra fish accounted for 90 percent of the total agro-fisheries shipments, mostly to European and American markets.
During the period, the province shipped more than189,000 tonnes of rice abroad, earning US$87.6 million, up 86% in volume and value.
Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Le Van Huong said the locality has paid attention to administrative reform and business climate improvement, thereby facilitating business operations.
Since early this year, the local authorities have held three dialogues with enterprises to acquire their feedback and promptly clear arising obstacles.
Thanks to common efforts between local administration, sectors and firms, local farm produce export has progressed sustainably.
