Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Tran Thanh Nam said China''s dismantling of its COVID-19 lockdowns had given a big push to bilateral trade, with Vietnamese exports to China in February rising by 33 per cent month-on-month.
The agriculture sector needs to address challenges related to branding, geographical indications, traceability, and intellectual property to take full advantage of the free trade agreement Viet Nam has signed with the EU, speakers said on July 24 at a meeting.
The Middle East and Africa are promising markets for Vietnamese exports, but exporters would face challenges there and have to adopt appropriately careful strategies, officials said at a conference in HCM City on Thursday.
