Vietnam’s exports to China reached US$5.02 billion in November, reflecting a 7.6 percent decrease compared to October, according to Vietnam’s General Department of Customs. Year-to-date exports amounted to US$55.06 billion.
Telephones, mobile phones, and parts thereof remained the largest export category, totalling US$1.12 billion, though this marked a sharp decline of 33.65 percent month-on-month. Computers, electrical products, and spare parts surged by 35.89 percent to US$1.10 billion, demonstrating strong demand.
Rubber exports rose by 11.01 percent to US$368.75 million, while yarn exports fell slightly by 8.59 percent to US$181.34 million. Exports of fruits and vegetables dropped significantly by 23.56 percent to US$235.78 million, and wood and wooden products saw a decline of 16.59 percent to US$157.17 million.
Despite the overall decline, growth in key sectors like computers and rubber highlights Vietnam’s competitive position in the Chinese market, offsetting challenges in telephones, agriculture, and wood products.
