Changing Trade Policies to Ensure Agricultural Export Growth in Vietnam in post COVID-19

Abstract

The year 2018 is a successful year in Vietnam's agricultural exports. Despite declining world market prices of many industrial crops and increasing requirements in food safety, Vietnam's agricultural export value still grows strongly, and has reached a record of US$40.02 billion in 2018. This is a record export turnover of Vietnam's agricultural sector, affirming its position in agricultural exports, which is at its second highest in Southeast Asia and ranks 13th in the world. In the last 10 years, 2008-2018, the total export value of Vietnam’s agricultural sector has reached US$302 billion, with annual growth rate averaged 9.24 % (Mard, 2019).
