Vietnam’s textile and garment industry witnessed a fall in exports in the first four months of this year due to production-related difficulties arising out of the COVID-19 pandemic. In April, the figure fell by 20 per cent compared to that in March, Truong Van Cam, vice chairman of the Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association (VITAS), said.

A high ranking official of the Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association (VITAS) said that the garment industry in Vietnam has thrived without the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) as it holds the second biggest market share in the US and Japan.

The Vietnam Textile and Garment Association (VITAS) and Mexico's National Chamber of Textile Industry (Canaintex) expect the value of Vietnamese exports to Mexico to double in 3-4 years after the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is implemented.
