TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) - Vietnam businesses will also have the opportunities to develop, expand its ex -imports activities as duties will be zeroed.

Accordingly, Vietnamese businesses can enter other markets such as United State, Autralia… and vice versa.

And not only major export items such as seafood, garments, textiles… but also other items can sharply increase export turnover.

- TPP will provide opportunities for Vietnam enterprises to buy raw materials from member countries with lower costs. Moreover, Vietnamese companies will also approach member nations’s service in a favorable way and lower barriers as well as participate in transparent bid process when opening public procurement market…

- However, joining TPP, Vietnamese enterprises will also face challenges including quality competition, origin of goods, service and price advantages.... while most of Vietnam’s businesses are small-scale, fragmented production and high – priced products...that cause obstacles for export businesses.
