ABSTRACT: The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic was indeed one of the unexpected shocks to the global
economy. This pandemic has disrupted the supply chain of goods, affected the supply and demand between
countries, and reduced the economies of many different regions and countries. Realizing the impact of this
pandemic on countries around the world, the author conducted this research to assess the impact of COVID-19
on the export activities of some strategic commodities in VietNam such as computers, electrical products, spare
parts, and components thereof; telephones, mobile phones and part thereof; wood and wooden products; textiles
and garments; footwear products. The author uses the secondary data is export value data of each item, to
assess the difference between before and after the pandemic. From the results of the analysis and evaluation of
the data, this research found that COVID-19 does not completely affect all these sectors. And finally, the author
gives some recommendations to improve the export capability in similar cases in the future.
