In the first seven months of the year, total sector exports reached USD 39.68 billion, up nearly 15% year-on-year.

To respond to market fluctuations and adjust the export structure, Vietnam is focusing on expanding key markets such as Europe, Africa, and Islamic (Halal) countries. At the same time, restructuring production and promoting the development of competitively priced agricultural products is considered a key strategy to sustain the export target of USD 65–70 billion in 2025.
