Some product groups had sharp decline in turnover such as: computers, electronic products and components, down 28.4%; phones and accessories decreased by 9.9%; iron and steel of all kinds decreased by 29.8%...

However, from the beginning of the year to the end of July 15, 2024, Vietnam's total export turnover still grew quite well compared to the same period last year with a turnover of US$207.25 billion, up 15.2%.
