South America viewed as potential market for Vietnamese apparel
Despite trade activities between the nation and South American nations seeing growth in recent times, it remains far from fulfilling its full potential, especially for the textile and garment sector, according to industry insiders. South America is viewed as a highly lucrative fashion market that boasts a population of more than 437 million people and a relatively high per capita income.
