Exports to Poland surge in 2006

HA NOI — The nation’s export turnover to Poland reached US$111.7 million in the first nine months of the year, a whopping 114.8 per cent increase over the previous year, according to the Ministry of Trade.

Export turnover to Poland in September alone reached $13.65 million, an increase of 67.26 per cent over the previous month and 72.26 per cent over September of 2005.

Seafood, coffee and footwear exports saw the highest increases, with seafood accounting for over half of all exports to Poland and representing an export value of $6.89 million.

Seafood posted a 287.68 per cent one-month increase in September, 386.17 per cent over September 2005.

Poland was one of the leading EU export markets for Viet Nam seafood, said Vu Van Trieu, head of the International Co-operation Department under the Ministry of Fisheries. He said the ministry planned to increase trade promotion in this market.

Coffee exports, despite low figures in September, increased in the first nine months of the year overall. A turnover of $15 million is twice last year’s figure.
