International Journal of Humanities and Social Science, 2025, vol. 1, issue 1, 76-83

Abstract: This paper explores the evolving trends of green exports and sustainability within the context of Vietnam's international trade. The study begins by providing a comprehensive overview of Vietnam's trade landscape, emphasizing the critical role that exports play in driving the nation's economic growth. It defines the concept of green exports and explores their increasing significance in the global trade system, particularly in relation to environmental sustainability. The paper highlights the growing prominence of sectors such as renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, and eco-friendly manufacturing in Vietnam's export portfolio. These sectors are crucial for Vietnam as they contribute not only to economic prosperity but also to the global effort towards sustainable development. By analyzing export data, including volume trends, growth rates, and market shares in these green sectors, the paper presents empirical evidence of the nation's progress. Furthermore, the study identifies several challenges faced by Vietnam in expanding its green exports. Key issues include technological limitations, a lack of widespread awareness among stakeholders, and the high initial investment required for sustainable practices. Despite these barriers, the paper offers policy recommendations aimed at strengthening Vietnam's competitiveness in the global green export market. These recommendations emphasize fostering innovation, enhancing public-private partnerships, and improving the infrastructure for sustainable production. In conclusion, this research sheds light on Vietnam's growing role in the global green trade and provides valuable insights for policymakers, businesses, and academics seeking to further develop sustainable trade practices. The findings underline the importance of aligning trade strategies with environmental goals, ensuring that economic development goes hand in hand with the preservation of natural resources.
