Minister of Agriculture and Environment emphasized that Vietnam and the US have agricultural strengths that complement rather than compete with each other.
Figures from the General Department of Vietnam Customs show that bilateral trade between Vietnam and the US had reached $96.32 billion this year as of the end of September. At this rate, trade between the two countries will surpass the $100-billion mark for the second year in succession by the end of this month. The US is Vietnam’s largest export market, accounting for 28.6 per cent of export turnover.
