More than 100,000 Vietnamese firms have to date joined www.alibaba.com, one of the global leaders in business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce Websites, said China’s Alibaba Group.
About 4,000 Vietnamese small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have become partners of the Website each month, representing an increase of 105 per cent during the June 2008 to June 2009 period, the company reported.
