Since the beginning 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the number of export orders, and interrupted the supply of raw materials. Therefore, many businesses have not had enough production materials. The closure of the three largest markets (the US, the EU and Japan, which accounted for about 65% of export turnover of Vietnam’s textile industry) has also greatly affected the production and business plans of textile companies.
Viet Tien is not exempt from such negative impacts so it has changed business plan for this year.Its total assets in 2019 stood at around 2xx million USD, which is a slight increase over 2018. Its turnover and net profit in 2019 dropped by 7% and 13.7%, respectively, over the figures for 2018.

The General Director of the company informed that there were not many delayed or canceled orders. Over the past time, the company has maintained the orders from Walmart and Costco. Moreover, to make up for the decline in garment orders, the company has partly turned to manufacturing masks and medical protective gears.
Currently, Song Hong’s major export market is the USA, whose demand for garment goods has decreased due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore, it is understandable that the company’s revenue has gone down.
