However, export turnover of the two major commodities that decreased in the first six months of 2018 are coffee and crude oil. Accordingly, export turnover of coffee in June was estimated at US$ 287 million, decreasing by 2.4%, and the first six months of 2018 at US$ 1.98 billion, decreasing by 6% compared to the same period in 2017.
The volume of crude oil exports in June was estimated at 289,000 tons, decreasing by 14.4% with turnover of US$ 165 million, decreasing by 18% compared to the previous year. The volume of crude oil exports in the first six months was estimated at 1.85 million tons with turnover of US$ 1 billion, decreasing by 50.7% in volume and 32.2% in value compared to the same period in 2017.
The decline in volume is higher than the turnover, showing that the average price of crude oil exports in the previous months is higher than the same period in 2017. Over the past six months, the crude oil price was US $540/ton, while in the same period in 2017 was US$ 402/ton. Thus, the average export price increased US$ 138/ton equivalent to 34.3%.
Markets that have mainly imported crude oil from Vietnam are China with 405,297 tons (as of the end of May); Thailand with 294,096 tons; Australia with 259,896 tons, Japan with 257,623 tons, the US with 123,671 tons.
