For markets, apart from Asia with a 2.7% rise, Vietnam’s agro-forestry-aquatic product exports to America, Europe, Africa and Oceania contracted 39.6%, 13%, 21.2% and 31%, respectively. China, the US and Japan remained Vietnam’s biggest importers during the reviewed period.

The ministry said the decrease in agro-forestry-aquatic product export revenue was due to impacts of the global economy which is forecast to slow down this year, the Russia-Ukraine conflict and inflation surges in some countries.

Moreover, many countries have stepped up exports, while imported inventory remains big in major markets like the US and the EU, making many domestic enterprises unable to earn new orders.

The ministry said it will continue promoting market development and removing obstacles to domestic consumption and export in the time ahead.
