Hanoi (VNA)🦋 – A workshop was held in Hanoi on November 9 to promote exports to China and draw Chinese investment into Vietnam.
The workshop updated domestic exporters on information on China’s markets as well as business opportunities, according to Deputy Director of the Vietnam Trade Promotion Agency (Vietrade) Do Kim Lang.
Head of the Vietrade Office in China’s Chongqing city Dao Viet Anh highlighted advantages for promoting trade exchange between the two countries, saying that China has a huge demand for Vietnamese agri-forestry-fishery products such as rice, cassava, rubber, fruits, tea, shrimp and catfish.
However, Vietnamese enterprises encountered numerous obstacles to export goods to the Chinese market such as tariff, quarantine, and lack of information, Anh said, adding that they should work closely with relevant Vietnamese agencies in trading with Chinese partners.
Anh suggested enterprises study further Chinese regulations and requirements on imports as well as tastes of Chinese consumers, while actively joining trade promotion events to expand their markets.
