Vietnam’s export up 14.2 pct in 10 months
HANOI, Oct. 29, 2018 (BSS/Xinhua) – Vietnam reaped export turnovers of
nearly 200.3 billion U.S. dollars in the first 10 months of this year,
gaining a year-on-year surge of 14.2 percent, the General Statistics Office
said on Monday.
Specifically, the domestic economic sector posted export turnovers of over
56.8 billion U.S. dollars, up 16.8 percent, and foreign-invested nearly 143.5
billion U.S. dollars, up 13.2 percent.
Export turnovers of phones and their components rose 10.6 percent to 40.7
billion U.S. dollars; garments and textiles increased 17.1 percent to 25.2
billion U.S. dollars; electronic goods and components grew 15.2 percent to
24.3 billion U.S. dollars; machines and spare parts surged 28.3 percent to
13.5 billion U.S. dollars; and footwear expanded 9.5 percent to 13 billion
U.S. dollars.
Some agricultural products saw bigger export volumes but smaller values
due to lower export prices, including cashew nuts, rubber and pepper.
Between January and October, the United States was Vietnam’s biggest
export market with turnovers of 39 billion U.S. dollars, up 12.8 percent,
followed by the European Union with 34.9 billion U.S. dollars, up 9.9
percent, and China with 32.1 billion U.S. dollars, up 21.3 percent, said the
office.
