Vietnam has seen a slowdown in industrial production and a contraction in exports due to continued weak external demand, the World Bank's June edition on Vietnam Macro Monitoring showed, reported Xinhua.
Vietnam is among the world’s top countries in total numbers of poultry and pigs, but the market is being gradually acquired by foreigners. About 8 million farming households have been weeded from the market.
Vietnam’s services sector remains a bright spot, partially offsetting some external weakness, according to a report released by HSBC Vietnam on May 31.
