The agriculture sector is forecast to earn US$41 billion from exports this year, according to Vu Ba Phu, head of the Viet Nam Trade Promotion Agency under the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT).
Export growth in the first six months of this year
was affected by a decline in export turnover of the agricultural and
aquatic sectors and fuel and minerals.
The State Bank of Viet Nam (SBV) has reduced maximum interest rates for
five priority sectors, including agriculture, export, supporting
industry, small and medium-sized enterprises and high-tech firms.
