KIEN GIANG (Biz Hub) — The southern province of Kien Giang has set a goal of earning US$670 million from exports in 2014, the provincial Industry and Trade Department announced.

Of the total, the export of agricultural products is expected to reach $440 million, while exports of aquatic products should bring in $175 million, as still other goods earn $55 million. The province will also plan to ship abroad 1.1 million tonnes of rice next year.

To meet this goal, Kien Giang will keep a close watch on supply, demand and price developments of some key products, the department said.

Further, Kien Giang will make full use of its advantages and minimise impacts of the economic recession, while increasing trade promotions and expanding export markets, especially those with high demands. —VNS
