Statistics from this platform show that the average number of buyers of Vietnamese products every day on this platform increased by 55% in March 2023 compared to the same period last year.
In addition, the number of Vietnamese products on Alibaba.com also increased by 24%. This shows the increasing demand for Vietnamese goods from foreign markets.
