According to the Ministry,
agricultural produce is the backbone of the country, which unfortunately has
seen a sharp drop in exports.
For instance, cashew
exports have dropped by 15.8 percent, coffee by 23.1 percent in quantity and
22.4 percent in value, rice by 14.7 percent in quantity and 17.2 percent in
value, and manioc and manioc-made products by 22.7 percent in quantity and 21.2
percent in value.
The domestic market is
facing fierce competition. Genuine businesspersons have to fight against fraudsters,
despite intervention of tax agencies to shrink purchase and selling price among
firms. To resolve this problem, related agencies must make concerted efforts to
curb this menace.
According to Nguyen Duc
Thuan, Chairman of Vietnam Leather and Footwear Association, the sector may
earn export revenue of US$10 billion this year.
Nguyen Van Tuan, Deputy General Secretary of Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association, said the sector hopes to touch export revenue of US$18.5 billion by year end.
