In April alone, the country is set to earn 4 billion dollars from shipping abroad goods, mainly crude oil, coal, textiles and garments, footwear, rice and seafood, local newspaper Investment reported Monday.

The National Assembly of Vietnam, the country's highest legislative body, and the government have recently eyed export revenues of 46.5 billion dollars this year, up from 39.6 billion last year.
