Agricultural exports fall by 7%
(VNS-02/12/2009 )Agricultural, forestry and fisheries exports totalled US$1.3 billion in November, bringing the total for the first 11 months of the year to $14 billion, a decline of 6.94 per cent from the same period last year, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
Nguyen Viet Chien, director of the ministry’s Information and Statistics Centre, said that export of agricultural products had not enough time to reflect the gradual recovery in the global economy.
All three sectors saw declines in export value during the 11-month period, with agricultural exports dropping 7.9 per cent compared to the same period a year ago to a value of $7.17 billion, while forestry products declined 10.8 per cent to a value of $2.45 billion and fisheries exports fell 6.28 per cent to a total value of $3.94 billion.*
