Vietnam - Vietnam’s first half exports to Mexico rises 30 per cent

Vietnam earned $453.6 million from exports to Mexico in the first half of this year, a rise of 30 per cent over the same period last year, according to the Vietnamese Embassy in Mexico .

Meanwhile imports in the reviewed period were $41 million, a drop of 31.3 per cent, the source said.

In June alone, Vietnam ’s exports to the second largest economy in Latin America increased 15 percent to $80.3 million while imports were down 6 per cent to $5.55 million, it added.

Hoang Anh Dung, the Vietnamese Embassy’s commerce counsellor, attributed the surplus to the increase in the volume of traditional export items such as footwear, apparel, aquatic products, printers, electric equipment and machines, rubber, coffee and wood furniture.

The Central Bank of Mexico said Mexico ’s quick economic recovery and high growth in import-export are an advantage for commodities produced in Vietnam.
