Remittances/The (total) remittance from

Remittances from overseas Vietnamese channeled through HCM City banks rose to a four-year high of US$4.85 billion last year, far more than the target set last year by the Central Bank's HCM City branch.

Can I use "The remittance" or "The total remittance" instead of "Remittance" in that sentence?
If not, what is the difference in meaning among them? Which one do you prefer?

Thank you.

If not, what is the difference in meaning among them? Which one do you prefer? I would say not: the point is that many Vietnamese are sending many remittances.
