According to Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association, if calculating from the time when Vietnam-US Bilateral Trade was signed until now, the export turnover of Vietnam textiles and garments is over 50% involving the value of domestic raw materials and other value added. Therefore, in this year, with USD $24.5 export turnover, textiles and garments bring the trade surplus of USD $12. Along with that, bilateral and multilateral free trade agreements are also an appeal for orders from other countries.

Nonetheless, besides these achievements, Vietnam Textile and Garment is still facing many difficulties and challenges such as the requirements of origin. General Director of Vietnam Textile and Garment Group (VINATEX) Le Tien Truong said that VINATEX enterprises heavily invested in fields of raw materials. Until now, there were surpluses of fibers for exporting. The production of knitted fabrics also met 60% demand of domestic market. Currently, Vietnam is highly appreciated for its high competitiveness in the global textile supply chain, however, building its own brand is an essential factor. Thereby, Vietnam needs to continue making more efforts to reach higher levels in the value chain of the world’s textiles.
