Additionally, Vietnam bolstered import turnover of fruit and vegetables, gemstones, precious metal, computers and components and steel products from India while reducing imports of plant and animal oil, animal feed and fertilizer.
Especially, the country has no longer imported corn from India for the past few months due to its failure to compete with other nations in prices.
