Vietnam has eyed to ship abroad agricultural products worth 11 billion U.S dollars in 2010, up from targeted 7.4 billion dollars this year, according to local newspaper Vietnam Economic Times on Thursday.

To this end, the country is focusing on boosting production of items with big export advantages, establishing large-scale production zones attached to processing establishments and markets, and developing husbandry industry.

It is also centering on building brands, registering product trademarks, improving quality, further tapping traditional markets such as China, the United States, Japan and the European Union, and seeking new ones, the report said.

Vietnam exported nearly 7.2 billion dollars worth of agriculture and forestry products in 2006, up 19.7 percent from 2005.
