Mr Le Quoc An, President of Vietnam National Textile and Garment Group (Vinatex) and Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association (Vitas) has recently said that textile and garment sector of the country is moving steadily towards its target of earning a foreign exchange of US $9.5 billion in 2008 and $25 billion in 2020.
Presently countries from America, Africa, and European Union are shifting their production bases to Asian region and Vietnam is taking advantage of this situation by luring foreign investments.
However, the competitiveness among Asian countries is fierce. Additionally, increasing number of technical and commercial barriers is posing great challenges to Vietnam’s textile and garment industry.
