An Giang to join “US$1 billion export club”
(VOV) - The southern province of An Giang plans to join the “US$1 billion export club”, focusing on rice, tra fish, garments, and fruits, and vegetables.
As well as increasing industrial zone investment to promote the processing industry’s development, the province will attempt to encourage rural industrialization by applying manufacturing engineering principles to agricultural production.
It will also expand trade promotion in emerging markets to raise the export value of important commodities, ensure traditional markets are not neglected, and strengthen export quality management.

An Giang has drafted targeted policies encouraging businesses to invest in fields using advanced technology. It will support agro-forestry and seafood businesses looking to broaden their customer base and work to improve the international reputation of provincial trademarks.
While acknowledging many risks, the provincial Department of Trade and Industry forecasts the global economy will rebound, creating opportunities for its rice, fish, and frozen produce exporters.
The domestic economy’s signs of recovery and business policy reforms in late 2013 lend additional weight to An Giang’s optimism.
