Despite facing difficulties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Vietnam's footwear industry still achieved double-digit growth and some companies have received long-term orders. Statistics from the General Department of Vietnam Customs showed the country's export turnover of footwear in the first five months of this year grew 25.5 percent year-on-year to nearly 8.4 billion USD, accounting for 6.4 percent of the country’s total export earnings of goods. The US remained the biggest importer with an export value of 3.35 billion USD, followed by the EU and China with 1.92 billion USD and 830.9 million USD, respectively. VNA Photo: Trần Việt
