VOV.VN - Vietnam exported US$1.15 billion worth of goods to Türkiye in the first half of 2026, up 32% year on year, with phones, electronics and steel remaining the country's largest export categories, according to Vietnam Customs.
Statistics show phones and components generated US$330 million in export turnover, an increase of 36.7% compared with the same period last year.
Computers, electronic products and components ranked second, with exports soaring to US$196 million, up 87% year on year, making the category one of the fastest-growing segments in bilateral trade.
Steel exports also recorded remarkable growth, reaching nearly US$80 million, more than doubling from a year earlier.
Other major export products included footwear, worth US$58.4 million; machinery, equipment and spare parts at US$53.6 million; and vehicles and parts, valued at US$41.9 million.
Together, the six largest export categories generated approximately US$761 million, accounting for nearly 66% of Vietnam's total exports to Türkiye during the period.
Among agricultural products, pepper posted the strongest growth, with exports reaching US$28.9 million, more than twice the level recorded a year earlier. Rice exports, however, declined sharply, falling to US$770,000, highlighting changing demand patterns in the Turkish market.
Meanwhile, Vietnam imported US$245 million worth of goods from Türkiye in the first six months of 2026. Major imports included machinery and equipment, ores and minerals, fabrics, pharmaceuticals and chemicals.
The figures indicate that Vietnam continues to maintain a substantial trade surplus with Türkiye while expanding its presence in the country's industrial and consumer markets.
