Nghe An’s exports surge 25.1% in first half of 2025

Amid global trade uncertainties, Nghe An province in Central Vietnam recorded export turnover of $1.8 billion in the first six months of 2025, marking a strong increase of 25.1% compared to the same period last year.

The implementation of supportive measures for businesses and proactive efforts to resolve difficulties have been considered a crucial foundation for this success.

According to Mr. Pham Van Hoa, Director of the Provincial Department of Industry and Trade, the locality has launched a series of practical initiatives to assist the business community in overcoming challenges and maintaining export momentum.

Among these are training programs on rules and procedures for certifying the origin of goods under the Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) that Vietnam has signed, as well as training on the issuance of non-preferential Certificates of Origin (C/O). The department has also advised the Provincial People’s Committee in developing a resolution to support trade promotion with specific and practical policies.

In June 2025 alone, the province's export turnover reached $339 million. 

This achievement is largely attributed to the stable operation of several large-scale foreign direct investment (FDI) projects that have officially come into operation. Goods produced in Nghe An are now exported to 125 countries and territories worldwide, including major and stable markets such as the United States, mainland China, Hong Kong (China), Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan (China).

Key product groups with strong growth include electronic equipment and components (up 110.98%), footwear (up 105%), textiles and garments (up 35.64%), and electric wires and cables (up 18%).

The province set a target of $4.8 billion in export value for 2025.
