Vietnam's exports to the UK, particularly agricultural products, have surged by over 57% in early 2024, thanks to the Vietnam-UK Free Trade Agreement (UKVFTA) that came into effect in May 2021. The agreement has given Vietnamese products a competitive edge, with the business community, ministries, and professional associations playing a key role in this success. However, the ongoing Red Sea conflict could pose challenges by extending shipping times and increasing freight rates. Additionally, a decrease in UK market demand is anticipated due to economic recession, high inflation, and increased cost of living.
