Besides, a few studies have been trying to analyze the factors affecting export efficiency Calculating the export efficiency of Vietnam‟s textile and garment and identifying its determinants would provide a more honest view of the export performance of Vietnam in this industry The government can base on this information to design better policies that could maximize export efficiency, especially to the EU market since EVFTA has just been effective, which will provide a number of export opportunities to Vietnam By increasing export h Economics Letters, 15(13), 1037–1039
