Hanoi: Multisectoral collaboration has become a rising trend among the Vietnamese business community, especially micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises thanks to benefits for all parties involved, according to experts. Dr. Cao Dinh Khien from the Foreign Trade University said that with the development of technologies and globalisation, this form of collaboration is becoming obvious, helping participating firms expand their operation scale, reduce costs, and increase competitiveness. In Vietnam, many policies have been introduced to encourage multisectoral economic development and speed up the international economic integration process through the opening of the economy and actively engaging in global economic organisations, he noted. The expert held that this has created potential and opportunities for development but also posed challenges for domestic firms, requiring them to foster connectivity and optimise advantages from the linkage to enhance their competitiveness. However, Dr, Kien said that bu siness collaboration in Vietnam is small with horizontal and cluster linkages to form craft villages or business associations in a certain industry. Meanwhile, the rate of business linkages for core business activities or participation in the global value chain is still modest, mostly because the majority of businesses in Vietnam are still of a small scale with a lack of production standards. He said that in order to promote business connectivity, it is necessary to increase the engagement of the State, trade associations and businesses. He underlined that active businesses play a key role in forming and operating economic connections, especially in seeking cooperation opportunities in dealing with difficulties in the value chains that they are operating in. Meanwhile, Nguyen Minh Tien from the BNI Foundation in Vietnam said that by joining a network, businesses will be trained to use shared databases to create more business opportunities, thus enhancing revenue and profits./.

Can Tho: Digital transformation is a new and breakthrough measure to assist in the process of industrialisation and modernisation of the country as well as particular sectors, including logistics, while prompting green transition, according to insiders. As logistics plays a crucial role in the country's socioeconomic development, it is necessary to seek institution, mechanisms and policies to boost the sector's growth in association with the national transformation process, they said at a recent logistic forum held in the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho. According to the Vietnam Logistics Service Business Association, the average logistics cost in Vietnam is 16.8 - 17%, still higher than the global average of 10.6%. Reasons include limited logistics capacity, poor infrastructure and lack of connectivity between modes of transportation. Vietnam dropped four places in the World Bank (WB) Logistics Performance Index (LPI) 2023 to the 43rd position from the 39th position in 2018. The WB report also showed that, in addition to improvements in infrastructure, customs and international shipping factors, Vietnam's logistics industry still has many limitations in terms of capacity as well as the digital transformation pace of most logistics businesses. Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Phan Thi Thang said that Vietnam is in the top 10 emerging logistics markets globally, with a compound annual growth rate of the industry forecast to reach 5.5% in the 2022-2027 period. In the first 10 months of this year, the country's total import-export turnover hit 558.33 billion USD with a record trade surplus of 24.59 billion USD. The official stressed the need to remove difficulties and optimise benefits that digital transformation bring about for the industry. The move would enhance the sector's competitiveness and boost socioeconomic development of the Mekong Delta, a region with great potential and demand for logistics services but with modest logistics infrastructure and capacity. Le Quang Trung, Vice Chairman of the Viet nam Logistics Service Business Association said that the biggest bottleneck hindering the Mekong Delta region's growth is the high logistics cost, which accounts for 30% of the production cost. The association said that currently, the region has 1,461 logistic service providers, accounting for 4.39% of the country's total logistics business number, mostly serving the agricultural sector, he added. Trung underlined that localities and regions should improve their logistics infrastructure system, including warehouse and transport infrastructure, towards specialisation of stages. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen multimodal transport and develop air cargo air transport services, while investing in smart warehouse and preservation technology, he stated. In addition, provinces, cities, and businesses need to take advantage of orientations and policies on regional connectivity to create substantive connections in terms of goods supply sources and logistics activities. The Vietnam Logistics Service Business Association representative proposed the opening of an additional waterway transport routes connecting the Mekong Delta region with Cambodia and the Cai Mep-Thi Vai area. The new channel will create advantages for the direct import-export of key products such as seafood and farm produce to Europe and the US./.
