However, according to the Department of Industry and Trade, the export scale is still small compared to the potential and development requirements; the average export turnover per capita is still low compared to the national average.
Although exports in 2018 continued to grow, they were not really stable and not very effective; the number of export items of enterprises still depended on goods from other provinces and foreign markets (such as cassava starch, pepper, wood products, etc.).
