According to him, the visible challenges to the industry originated from the financial crisis and economic downturn globally which has affected sales of Vietnamese high quality products because the consumers have tightened their pockets. The opening of Vietnamese markets under WTO commitments has put more pressure on enterprises in domestic market.
