The above product groups are the bright spots of exports. In the first 8 months of the year, many key product groups had a sharp decrease in turnover compared to the same period last year.

Data from the General Department of Customs recorded that up to 11 export commodity groups decreased by over 500 million USD compared to the same period last year.

The 11 product groups mentioned above alone decreased by 23.71 billion USD, equal to 95.7% of the decrease in export turnover of Vietnam.

An optimistic sign is that export activities improved in August with a turnover of 32.76 billion USD, up 9% (equivalent to an increase of 2.69 billion USD) compared to the previous month.
