    Strong export growth paves the way for Ninh Binh to achieve annual target

    Ninh Binh’s export turnover surged in the first nine months of 2026, laying a solid foundation for the province to achieve its annual target. However, changes in trade policies, rising shipping costs and increasingly stringent requirements in import markets continue to put pressure on businesses. In the final months of the year, the province is focusing on supporting production, stepping up trade promotion, effectively leveraging free trade agreements (FTAs) and sustaining export growth while increasing the value of exported goods.
