VRG sets $1.17b revenue goal for 2013

The Viet Nam Rubber Group (VRG) plans to foster trade promotion and expand export outlets in order to reap a VND24.5 trillion (US$1.17 billion) revenue by year-end, the group said in a conference in HCM City on Saturday.

 

Over the past nine months, it had sold 200,000 tonnes of rubber, earning a revenue of over VND17 trillion ($809.6 million) or 70 per cent of the target set for this year.

The General Statistics Office's report revealed that the country had fetched over $1.7 billion from exporting 725,000 tonnes of rubber during the January-September period. Despite a modest increase of 1 per cent in volume, exports saw a drop of 17 per cent in value.
