Open markets for Vietnamese businesses
Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, the supply of raw materials from the three major markets of China and South Korea was limited, businesses returned to find domestic raw materials to compensate. Therefore, input production enterprises in the province easily find more partners to sell. This is also the reason for the increase in Dong Nai's trade surplus in the first 3 months compared to the same period in 2019 and previous years.
According to Wu Minh Ying, Chairman of Taiwanese Business Association in Dong Nai, foreign enterprises investing in Dong Nai want to find local raw materials to proactively produce and ensure regulations on localization of products. Thus, products exported to Vietnam which have signed free trade agreements can enjoy preferential treatment on tariffs, increasing their competitiveness with similar products from other countries.
Through research about businesses in Dong Nai produce input materials, there were more orders in May 2,3-2020. However, some businesses have to refuse to reduce orders due to the partner's request is short time, quality assurance, so it has not met many of these issues.
Chairman Cao Tien Dung said: “The province will continue to implement simple procedures, promptly remove difficulties, create connections so that businesses in the province are more convenient in production and business. Enterprises will have stable and sustainable development conditions, which contribute greatly to the state budget.”
