The province is expected to earn more than US$12.6 billion from exports this year, the highest figure for the last three years.
The US, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Canada, and the UK are the locality’s significant export markets.
Since the beginning of the year, many importers have shifted their orders from neighboring countries to Vietnam generally and Dong Nai particularly to benefit from its tariff incentives. Accordingly, the province’s export is forecast to continue on its upward trend since a number of businesses received orders until the end of 2015’s first quarter already.
Many free trade agreements with ASEAN countries, which already took effect, have provided big opportunities for local exporters.
Director Mai Anh Tu of Hung Dat Footwear Company in Trang Bom district said that his company gained a year-on-year rise of 30 percent in the volume of exported products. The company has so far won orders for the first quarter of next year.
According to Pham Van Hiep from Fashion Garment 2 in Bien Hoa 2 industrial park, the company’s textile garment export saw a sharp increase in both volume and value since the beginning of the year. It earned a monthly export turnover of some US$8 million, up 30% compared to last year. In addition to its traditional markets such as the US and Europe, the company has expanded its exports to ASEAN countries.
Deputy Head of Dong Nai Customs Department Huynh Thanh Binh stressed that the department will focus on updating businesses on all domestic and foreign policies relating to import-export and providing them with the latest information on free trade agreements.
The department will also organize regular meetings with firms to address any issues they may have in a timely manner, he added.
