KIEN GIANG (Biz Hub) — The Cuu Long (Mekong) Delta province here earned nearly US$60 million in exports during January and February 2015, a 24 per cent increase from the same period last year.
Of the total, the export value of farm products accounted for $28.8 million while that of aquatic items was $27.5 million.
The area has set a target of earning $526 million from exports in 2015, up 6 per cent against 2014. The figure will include $315 million from agro-products and $170 million from aquatic products.
To realise this target, the local authorities are focusing on intensifying trade promotion activities in traditional markets, while seeking to expand the reach of exports in new ones. — VNS
