The Africa, West Asia and South Asia Market Department under the Ministry of Industry and Trade reported that Vietnamese enterprises are enjoying numerous opportunities to accelerate exports to the Middle East and Africa.

A large number of domestic enterprises gained large-scale contracts to ship goods especially Islamic clothing in the Middle East with high added value.

In addition, modern products such as T-shirt and jean trousers became populous in the continent. This is also a potential market for other made-in-Viet Nam garments products especially fabric and children clothing.

Viet Nam’s major importers included the
United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia.

Moreover, the Africa is another promising market for Vietnamese exporters./.
