This pie chart illustrates the overseas trading distribution between the US and Vietnam, in millions, on different export items such as aircraft parts and coffee. Overall, the exports from US to Vietnam costs substantially more than that of Vietnamese items of export, with Aircraft parts an machinery taking the top spot for items exporting into Vietnam. The charts show that US exports are led by aircraft parts, at $72 million, followed by other goods ($35 million) and machinery ($30.5 million). Fertiliser accounts for $16.5 million, while cotton and cars are lower, at $12 million and $6 million respectively.

In the opposite direction, coffee is the largest Vietnamese export to the US, worth $23 million. Fruit and vegetables rank second at $16 million. The remaining categories are much smaller: seafood and rice bring in $4.4 million and $4.3 million, while garments and other goods are each valued at $2 million.

Comparing the two charts, the US sends substantially more in exports to Vietnam across the categories shown. Aircraft parts alone exceed the value of any Vietnamese export category, while coffee is the only Vietnamese item above $10 million apart from fruit and vegetables. Both charts include a small 'other' category, but its value is much higher for US exports, at $35 million compared with $2 million.
