More than 54 million mobile phones were produced in Vietnam in the first three months of 2021. The phone and phone component industry also earned revenue of over US$14 billion in the same period.

Vietnam could have earned US$300 billion from exports this year but the export revenue stood at just US$281 billion due to Covid-19, said Minister of Industry and Trade Tran Tuan Anh.

Vietnam ran a trade surplus of $2.8 billion in the first quarter of this year, higher than 1.5 billion USD recorded in the same period last year, despite the growing COVID-19 pandemic in the country’s major export markets.

Total inflows of foreign direct investment (FDI) into Vietnam amounted to 38.02 billion USD this year to December 20, a 10-year high, according to the Foreign Investment Agency (FIA) under the Ministry of Planning and Investment.

Vietnam saw 30 types of goods reporting export revenue of over US$1 billion each in the January-November period of 2019, accounting for 91.6% of Vietnam’s total export revenue.

Vietnam’s foreign trade is forecast to hit 500 billion USD at the end of 2019, according to the General Statistics Office of Vietnam.

Vietnamese dairy products have been officially allowed into the Chinese market, according to a recent statement by the General Administration of Customs of China.
