Exports: Vietnam exports to Sri Lanka steady in August with gains in textiles but weaker rubber, yarn
Vietnam exported US$23.21 million worth of goods to Sri Lanka in August, down 1.24 percent from US$23.50 million in July, according to Vietnam’s General Department of Customs.
Year-to-date exports stood at US$186.61 million.
Textiles and garments rose 36.12 percent month-on-month to US$6.53 million, consolidating their role as the leading export category.
Computers and electronics also surged more than threefold to US$880,913, while phone shipments increased over five-fold to US$806,721.
In contrast, rubber exports fell 26.91 percent to US$3.61 million, and yarn plunged 37.09 percent to US$2.43 million.
Vietnam’s export profile to Sri Lanka is diversified across textiles, rubber, and manufactured goods, but remains modest in scale compared to other South Asian partners.
The mixed performance in August highlights both opportunities in consumer and tech-related categories and vulnerabilities in raw material exports.
