Exports to Spain increase sharply in recent years

Two-way trade between Viet Nam and Spain has increased rapidly in recent years, according to the Import Export Department under the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

The country earned US$1.1 billion from exports to Spain in 2010 and $1.55 billion in 2011, up 39.96 per cent.

According to the department, in the first two months of 2012 alone, the export turnover to Spain hit $275.98 million, a year-on-year increase of 34.43 per cent. As a huge market, Spain needs large quantities of garments and textiles, footwear, household commodities and seafood, which is a big advantage for Vietnamese businesses
