Vietnam’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has reported that export turnover in February was $3.3 billion, up by 21.8 percent compared with the same period last year, but down by 31.4 percent compared with January 2022.
Export turnover in the first two months of the year was estimated to reach $8 billion, an increase of 20.9 percent over the same period last year. Of this, exports of major farm produce brought turnover of $3.2 billion, up by 10 percent.
The congestion of farm exports at the border gates in Lang Son and Quang Ninh, which started in late 2021, has led to the sharp fall of export items whose major target market is China. The exports of vegetables and fruits in the first two months of the year decreased by 12.3 percent, while cassava and cassava-made products decreased by 10 percent, tea 10,8 percent and cashew nuts 2 percent.
