Prioritizing the production of convenience goods Mr. Vu Duc Giang, Chairman of the Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association (Vitas), shared that the Covid-19 pandemic, which lasted from the beginning of last year to now, had significantly changed the structure of products of the garment and textile industry.
