South America viewed as potential market for Vietnamese apparel
Despite trade activities between the nation and South American nations seeing growth in recent times, it remains far from fulfilling its full potential, especially for the textile and garment sector, according to industry insiders. South America is viewed as a highly lucrative fashion market that boasts a population of more than 437 million people and a relatively high per capita income.

Furthermore, the Vietnamese textile and garment industry is in the process of developing rapidly and is able to meet many large orders with high requirements from different markets. Currently, the nation’s textile and garment exports to Brazil stands at between US$150 million and US$200 million per year, whilst those to Chile are between US$70 million and US$90 million per year and to Peru the figure is around US$30 million to US$40 million per year.
