The list of 294 reputable export businesses in 2011 was announced by the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) on June 8.

 Tran Thanh Hai, Deputy Head of the Import-Export Department under the MoIT said this is aimed at honouring reputable trademarks of Vietnamese products and services on domestic and international markets as well as creating conditions for foreign businesses to promote cooperative investment in an effective way.

 He expressed his hope that reputable exporters will continue to secure a firm foothold among the international business community. 

 All the listed companies were credited for neither losing profits in 2010 and 2011, nor violate Vietnamese laws and international business laws to face any complaints about their trade frauds. In addition, they all strictly followed export contracts to the letter and fulfilled their tax payment duties.

Their exports in 2011 achieved about US$20 million in terms of footwear, US$15 million (garment), US$10 million (coffee, seafood), US$8 million (timber products), US$6 million (rice and cashew nuts), US$5 million (unprocessed rubber), US$4 million (pepper), US$2 million (vegetables and fruit), and US$1 million (tea).

 The list of export businesses are updated at www.moit.gov.vn.

 In 2010, there were 284 reputable export businesses, including 49 companies involved in seafood production, 38 in garment manufacturing, 32 in rice shipment and 27 in rubber plantation.
