An Giang strives to stimulate border trade growth

According to the plan, the province targets to increase the value of import and export via local border gates by 15% during 2021-2025 compared to the period five-year period. The export turnover is expected to grow by 10%, reaching about US$636.7 million in 2025 and accounting for 42-45% of An Giang’s total exports. Meanwhile, the import value is set to rise by 13% to hit US$65.1 million, making up 35% of the provincial total.
