Vietnam’s exports of chemical products rise by 4.82 percent in December

Vietnam’s exports of chemical products increased by 4.82 percent in December compared to November, reaching US$246.5 million, according to data from Vietnam’s General Department of Customs.

Vietnam’s exports of chemical products total US$2.71 billion for 2024, reflecting a strong performance in the sector.

Exports to Cambodia and Japan also saw positive growth, increasing by 20.28 percent and 7.32 percent, respectively. Exports to the USA showed a 5.20 percent increase, reaching US$9.36 million.
