In the first month of the year, Vietnam had the first billion-dollar export commodity group to the United States. It was textiles and garments, this quantity and this commodity was not different from the same period in 2018 but there was a significant increase in value of textiles and many key commodity groups in Vietnam's largest export market.

In particular, in the first month of the year, the export turnover of mobile phones to the US reached nearly US$ 473 million, up by 121%, equivalent to an increase of US$ 259 million. The surge in turnover in the US market is in contrast to the decrease in the overall turnover of the mobile phone group in January (January export turnover of mobile phones decreased by 16.3%).

With the above value, in January 2019, the US accounted for 23.3% of the country's total export turnover.
