In particular, Vietnamese businesses are focusing their resources to enter and thrive on Amazon and other e-commerce platforms. Vietnam's industrial and agricultural development has created many quality products with great competitiveness in the international market for e-commerce, along with other methods of cross-border exporting.

In which, a number of key product lines for export must meet strict standards of organic production. The effort of Vietnamse businesses have been paid of when sale numbers have grown strongly and the products slowly won the trust of international consumers. For example, Lafooco's cashew products of Long An Export Processing Joint Stock Company have entered the list of top 100 cashew nuts on Amazon in the US.

Mrs. Nguyen Hoang Viet Trang, senior account manager of Amazon Global Selling Vietnam, said that according to Amazon research, in 2022 e-commerce will grow 6 times faster than in-store sales. With the traditional export model, a product delivered to the final consumer has to go through many stages, such as the manufacturer - the exporter - importer - wholesaler - retailer, and finally the consumer. However, with e-commerce, products reach consumers only from the manufacturer and through an intermediary that is a service provider. This proves that e-commerce has helped shorten the maximum time, optimize customer feedback with the supplier's products. She hoped that Vietnamese businesses can take advantages of Amazon to make changes and dominate the potential of e-commerce.
