Coat Exports See Stable Growth
Coat exports are estimated at US$42.4 million in the first quarter this year, growing 11 per cent in volume and 25 per cent in value over the same period last year, according to the Ministry of Trade.
In March alone, Vietnamese businesses shipped abroad 1.39 million coats, valued at US$12.2 million.
The US has become Vietnam’s biggest coat importer, leaving the traditional EU market far behind. Coat exports stateside tripled the EU’s in terms of volume in the period.
Japan, which remained in third position, imported nearly 220,000 coats from Vietnam in the three months, down 10 per cent on-year. (Youth)
