The Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) on September 28 sent a document to the Vietnamese Ministry of Industry and Trade saying that Vietnam’s exports of some textiles and garments from January to July 2021 exceeded the quotas for preferential tariffs.

In the first 6 months of 2021, Vietnam exported 5,000 tons of feathers, earning more than 20 million USD. In which, the Chinese market is still the largest consumer of feathers from Vietnam with more than 4,000 tons.

Vietnam is emerging as a strong personal protective equipment manufacturing hub with more producers beefing up capacity in order to meet the soaring demand.

A trade group representing Gap, Adidas and other global fashion brands is asking the U.S. and Vietnamese governments to help vaccinate workers in the Southeast Asian country's vital garment industry against COVID-19.
