Wednesday, October 3,2018AsemconnectVietnam - The Mekong Delta city of Can Tho earned 1.46 billion USD from exports in the first nine months of the year, reaching 81.7 percent of the yearly target and up 14.65 percent over the same period last year, according to the municipal Department of Industry and Trade (DoIT).

Alongside this, a strong rise was also seen in the export revenue of some other products, such as handicraft by 39.55 percent, garments and textiles by 37.22 percent, and farm produce by 38.46 percent.
Toai said that in the coming time, the department will continue to work closely with other departments and agencies in the city to support local firms in reforming technological application and enhancing the productivity and quality of products.
At the same time, the city will also focus on removing difficulties facing businesses; promoting production and business; strengthening trade promotion activities and administrative reform; and applying policies to support enterprises in capital to reform their technology, enhancing the quality of products to raise competitiveness, added Toai.
