The department reported that in 2022, Dong Nai’s export revenue reached nearly USD 24.6 billion, while imports were nearly USD 19 billion, resulting in a trade surplus of USD 5.6 billion.
Foreign-invested enterprises still played the core role in the overall export revenue of the province, with contribution of over USD 18 billion.
However, experts held that local private enterprises will rise stronger in following years with higher competitiveness, especially in the areas of agriculture and garment and textile.
