Along with the recovery of the world economy and the efforts of enterprises to diversify markets, the export of goods in the province in the first 6 months of 2024 recorded positive signals. This is one of the bright spots of the economic picture, creating confidence and motivation for all levels, functional sectors and enterprises to strive to achieve the growth target set for the year, contributing positively to the overall socio-economic development of the province.
Accordingly, in the first 6 months of the year, the province's export turnover is estimated at 969.607 million USD, up 26.48% over the same period; import turnover is estimated at 685.517 million USD, up 17.93% over the same period.

To achieve the above results, it affirms the great determination of the province and export enterprises to actively improve designs, increase product quality, take advantage of opportunities brought about by integration, especially new-generation free trade agreements (FTAs) to promote exports, proactively turning challenges into opportunities in export activities.

The positive signals from the export activities in the province in recent times have contributed to creating motivation for enterprises and production facilities to overcome difficulties and continue to promote exports. However, in the face of increasingly strict market demands, along with the support of functional sectors, producers and enterprises themselves need to change their production mindset, improve product quality in the direction of safety, ensure traceability, build brands... so that export activities in the province are truly sustainable.
