Can Tho aims for $1.45b in exports

The Cuu Long (Mekong) Delta city of Can Tho will accelerate exports for eight major products in an attempt to reap an export turnover of US$1.45 billion this year, according to the municipal Department of Industry and Trade.

These eight reviewed items are rice, seafood, processed agricultural goods, textile and garment, pharmaceuticals, leather, feathers, fine arts and handicrafts.
