Viet Nam's envoys in foreign countries should continue to help companies export to these countries, a meeting here has heard.
Meeting with ambassadors and commercial counselors based abroad in Dong Nai province, local entrepreneurs asked the envoys to provide them with regular information about the market, importers and distributors.
They also sought marketing support and timely information on trade barriers.
The meeting was organised by the Ministry of Trade and Industry and Dong Nai authorities.
At a similar meeting in HCM City last Wednesday, the envoys said the global trend is towards "green" or sustainable growth, with focus on environmentally friendly products.
Thus, products exported to many countries needed to meet their quality and food safety and hygiene standards, they said.
Dong Nai is home to 13,000 domestic and 1,000 foreign companies who export to more than 140 countries.
Their main export markets are the US, Japan and China.
In 2011, despite the difficult economic situation, Dong Nai achieved a growth rate of 13.5 per cent and exports of more than US$9.8 billion, or more than 10 per cent of the country's total export.
Its exports are expected to top $11.4 billion in 2012.
