Therefore, Vietnamese enterprises, especially those in agricultural products and fruits, need to pay attention to the above thing so that they are able to participate in the Chinese market. The official market has specific standards that enterprises need to grasp and comply with.

With the population of about 1.4 billion people, India will create many opportunities for Vietnamese enterprises. “However, what we need is to carefully find out the customs, traditions, and aesthetics of our customers, tariff barriers as well as regulations on goods origin. We are making efforts to promote the development of the Binh Duong wooden furniture market in this country", said Mr. Dong.
