Vietnam develops green agriculture to increase exports to EU
Illustrative image (Photo: baodautu.vn) Hanoi (VNA) – Vietnam is paying attention to mobilising resources to invest in developing green agriculture with an aim to raising the market share of its agricultural exports to the European Union. Last year, Vietnam’s export revenue of agro-fishery-forestry products set a record high of 53.22 billion USD, up 9.3% year-on-year. However, Europe accounted for only 11.3% of its market share. This is a modest number, although the agricultural sector has optimised many advantages of the EU- Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA). One of the main reasons is said to be the union’s high requirements on farm imports, while Vietnam’s agricultural production has yet to meet green growth requirements. According to the World Bank’s report, agriculture is the second highest emitter, accounting for 19% of the nation’s total gas emissions in 2020. About 48% of the sector’s emissions and more than 75% of methane emissions are from rice … [Read more...] about Vietnam develops green agriculture to increase exports to EU

(Photo: VNA) Hanoi (VNS/VNA) - Vietnam must start monitoring and issuing carbon certificates to exporters and retailers in response to the EU's recently passed carbon levy , said industry insiders and policymakers. The EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) by the European Parliament (EP), according to the EP, is to "put a fair price on the carbon emitted during the production of carbon-intensive goods that are entering the EU, and to encourage cleaner industrial production in non-EU countries." The bloc requires exporters to report their commodities' carbon footprints, on which a tax may be levied should carbon emissions during the production of said commodities exceed the EU's carbon regulations. Instead of buying the EU's carbon certificate , Vietnamese businesses could take steps to reduce their own carbon footprints during production, experts said.

Economic growth and market upgrade to draw capital
Illustrative image (Photo: VNA) Hanoi - The prospect of economic growth and market upgradation is the driving force to attract cash flow into the stock market. Vietnam is among the world's fastest-growing economies with an average GDP growth rate of about 6.5% per year in the period before the COVID-19 pandemic. The target of economic growth in 2021-2025 at 6.5-7% per year was set out at the 13th National Party Congress despite the fact that the economy was severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021. However, VinaCapital forecasts that this growth can still be maintained in the 2023-2025 period. High economic growth will support companies listed on the stock market. In 2023, the business results of listed companies may be affected by the slowing growth of exports and consumption and high interest rates. The earnings per share (EPS) growth is forecast to be in single digits in 2023. However, from 2024, when inflationary pressures are gone, central banks around the … [Read more...] about Economic growth and market upgrade to draw capital
