With export turnover surging by 11% to reach approximately US$32 billion during the past 10 months of the year, the local garment and textile industry is anticipated to rake in roughly US$38 billion this year. The Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association (Vitas) predicts that the country’s garment and textile exports will reach US$3 billion per month during the remaining two months of the year.
