Dong Nai exports reach nearly $4b, up 17%

The southern province of Dong Nai earned over US$3.94 billion from its exports in the first four months of this year, up 17 per cent from the same period last year, local authorities have said.

Aquatic products topped the list with an increase of more than 81 per cent, followed by steel (78 per cent), coffee (73 per cent), and cashew nuts (53 per cent).

The export of garments, wooden products, computer and electronic components, machinery and footwear increased from 12-31 per cent.

In addition to maintaining trading activities with large partners from the US, Japan, and the EU, local enterprises stepped up penetrating into Eastern Europe, South America and Middle East markets, said Nguyen Tien Chuong, Chairman of the Dong Nai Import-Export Association.
