In January 2021, the export turnover of enterprises in the province reached over 1.8 billion USD, up more than 27% compared to the same period last year, but decreased slightly compared to December 2020. Despite receiving some large orders, enterprises still face difficulties due to the Covid-19 epidemic.
*There are still many risks
According to the forecasts of economists, in 2021, Vietnam's economic situation will be brighter, economic growth will reach over 6%. To achieve this result, the Covid-19 epidemic in Vietnam and other countries must be well controlled, trade between countries restored to normal. Vietnam's economy as well as Dong Nai is on the way to recovering quite quickly but at the end of January 2021, the outbreak again caused many enterprises to perform two big tasks at the same time. In particular, the most important task is to prevent epidemics, because there is good epidemic prevention to ensure production and business.
Mr. Nguyen Hoai Son, External Director of Rohm and Hass Vietnam Co., Ltd. in Nhon Trach 3 Industrial Park Phase 2 (Nhon Trach District) said: "The company strictly implements the prevention of Covid-19 epidemic, so the factory in Dong Nai as well as in some other provinces still operates relatively stable. Domestic and foreign customers also place the orders, now the company has received orders until the middle of the year". Rohm and Haas Vietnam Co., Ltd. belongs to Dow Group of the United States operating business in many fields, but the main field is the supporting industry. According to Mr. Son, currently the epidemic shows sign of re-outbreak, enterprises are forced to strengthen epidemic prevention to maintain production and export.
Although the impact of this Covid-19 epidemic is not clear, enterprises are quite worried, because of the Lunar New Year holiday, employees go home, visit relatives, the risk of spreading will be higher. If an infected employee occurs in the enterprise, it will greatly affect the production of the company.

*FDI investors still trust
Most enterprises announce that employees limit travel, gather crowds, and perform well in the prevention of epidemics to protect themselves and others. Many enterprises recommend employees during the Lunar New Year holiday 2021, do not go back to their hometowns, go out to reduce the spread of the epidemic. Many laborers in enterprises have canceled plans to return home for Tet hilidays or traveling.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy Ha, Director of Professional Department of Kureha Vietnam Co., Ltd. in Bien Hoa 2 Industrial Park shared: "In 2020 and January 2021, the company's production and exports are affected less than other factories of the Group abroad because in Vietnam the covid-19 pandemic is quite good. The epidemic is not spread widely, so the factory operates stably, meeting the orders of partners on time. Therefore, customers trust and order more, many orders in other countries move to Dong Nai". According to Ms. Ha, the company has never neglected the dual goals of epidemic prevention and production development.
