Soc Trang's export hits all-time high
The southern province of Soc Trang saw a strong growth in its 2014 export turnover, from US$480 million last year to an estimated $650 million, the highest on record.
The growth was buoyed by solid performance of the fisheries sector which brought home $610 million, up 23.1 per cent year-on-year and 41.8 per cent from its set target.
Other commodities, including rice, salted mushroom and duck eggs, fruits and machinery, raked in over $40 million.
The province set the goal of earning $700 million from exports next year, with $640 million contributed by seafood sector.
