In August alone, the locality raked in nearly US$1.2 billion from exports, the highest level since the beginning of this year.
The success has been significantly attributed to efforts by local authorities in organising trade and investment promotion activities in several countries, said Le Van Danh, Director of the provincial Department of Industry and Trade.
Through these activities, local enterprises, especially those producing textiles, footwear and fibre, set up partnerships and signed long-term orders to ship their goods abroad, he noted.
To realise its set export target for this year, Danh said local authorities will continue to increase promotional activities and attempt to give enterprises all possible opportunities to bring their wares to new markets such as Africa, the Middle East and South America.
From now until 2015, Dong Nai will focus on the markets of Cambodia, Japan, the Republic of Korea, India, Australia, Chile, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which all have high demand for the locality’s key products.
The department will continue to regularly hold meetings with firms to swiftly address difficulties facing them in export.
