Amid COVID-19 outbreak, the agency has actively connected
with industry associations of the host country and those in Vietnam in order to
support Vietnamese firms in taking advantage of opportunities to boost their
exports to Singapore.
Apart from organizing field trips for Singaporean fruit and vegetable importers
to Vietnam to seek supply sources in February, the office has also continued to
collect information related to the public procurement demand of the Singapore
Government, and actively implemented trade promotion and business matching
activities.
According to statistics of the Singapore Enterprise Department, Vietnam's export
value to the country in February increased 49 percent compared to a month
earlier, and up 102.78 percent compared to the same period in 2019.
The office proposed to the representative office of Vietnam Airlines in
Singapore to join hands in supporting Vietnamese exporters, and the carrier has
maintained cargo flights from Singapore to Hanoi and HCM City and vice versa.
Particularly, the national flag carrier has also offered preferential shipping
rates lower than the market price for Vietnamese firms’ exports to Singapore./.
