Despite positive results, Mr. Truong Van Cam - Vice President of Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association said: Currently, the world economy is experiencing many fluctuations that will affect export industries, including textile and garment industry.
According to Mr. Cam, especially increase in technical barriers in Vietnam's textile and garment import markets and domestic enterprises are lacking information about these technical measures, such as: the US Anti-Uyghur Forced Labor Act, German Supply Chain Inspection Act, EU Supply Chain Inspection Directive...
Faced with the above difficulties, at the July 2024 Trade Promotion Conference of Ministry of Industry and Trade, representative of Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association requested Vietnam Trade Office abroad, especially in areas that are major export markets of the industry, to grasp information and provide early warnings so that domestic enterprises can take response measures.
