Other strong exports products are ready-made clothes and bed sheets.
The Vietnam Ministry of Trade plans a number of tours to African countries in the coming time to explore the potential for Vietnam’s goods, particularly textile and garment products in this giant market of more than 800 million consumers .
The Ministry’s statistics showed that Vietnam’s exports to African countries saw stable increases over the recent past, to US $660 million in 2005 from US $250 million in 2003. (VNA)
