Vietnam targets $7b in RMG exports in'07


Vietnam is estimated to export textiles and garments worth over 4.2 billion US dollars in the first seven months of this year, compared with nearly 3.4 billion in the same period of last year, according to a local industry association Friday.

In July alone, the country is set to ship abroad the products worth 840 million dollars, the biggest monthly export revenue so far this year, said the Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association (Vitas).

Vitas has encouraged local garment enterprises to further explore traditional markets such as the United States, the European Union, and Japan, and seek more new ones.

It also urged them to focus on building trademarks, strengthening trade promotion, increasing products' quality and improving design, marketing and management.
