The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and the Ministry of Industry and Trade have outlined a number of measures to help domestic businesses boost export volumes. In the first two months of this year, Vietnam earned nearly US$3 billion from exporting agricultural, forestry, and aquatic products, up 9.7% from last year and making up 12.5% of the total export revenue. Cashew nuts, rice, and coffee are among the items with the greatest expected rise in export volume. Vietnam’s main export markets are the US, the EU, China, and Africa. The key market is the US, which is forecast to rise strongly.
