Garment exports to major markets such as US and the European Union (EU) have witnessed 20 percent and 6 percent surge, respectively, thereby improving the sector's export turnover during the first few months of the year, as per VITAS Chairman, Le Quoc An.

This year, the export turnover of this sector is likely to reach to $10.5 billion as the industry entrepreneurs have scores of export orders and many of them have big orders, which is likely to last till the end of the year.
