Nguyen Xuan Duong, Chairman of the Director Board of Hung Yen Garment Corporate underlined the challenges facing the sector, saying that export prices may fall, while production costs increase.
Enterprises need to devise measures to become more productive and reform their management, Duong said.
Vietnam’s garment-textile sector is forecast to face huge challenges and fierce competitions in 2018, particularly from China, Myanmar and Cambodia.
The sector earned US$4.3 billion from exports in the first two months this year, up 22.3% year on year.
