Abstract

This paper examines the export stimuli related to the enterprises’ perception of the importance for internal and external export stimuli from Vietnamese small and medium sized enterprises which export agricultural products to Asean+3. The suggested research model is based on the studies of Damoah (2011), Lisa (2005) and tested by double regression analysis method. Through the survey of 132 small and medium-sized enterprises exporting agricultural products in Ho Chi Minh City, some eastern, southwestern and highland provinces, the results show that the external export stimuli has stronger effect on export market selection than the internal export stimuli. The results also lead to some policy implications for the government as well as enterprises to motivate Vietnamese small and medium sized enterprises to export agricultural products to Asean+3
