Along with the increase in export turnover value, the subjects participating in export are constantly expanding, increasing rapidly in number and operating more and more effectively, especially the private economic sector and the foreign-invested sector; the reason is that the production and business environment in the province is increasingly improved, attracting and appealing to many economic sectors to participate.

Actively participate in the global commodity value chain
After the merger, Ninh Binh province has advantages in manufacturing and processing industry; textiles, mechanics, construction materials; agricultural and aquatic product processing, creating favorable conditions for diversifying export goods sources; at the same time, increasing the proportion of processed industrial goods with high technology content, reducing the proportion of raw and purely processed goods exports.
However, currently, most of the province's enterprises with high import-export turnover are enterprises that perform processing activities for foreign partners, input materials have low localization rates, and are easily affected when the raw material market fluctuates in price or partners change their supply sources. The province's key products such as textiles, footwear, agricultural products, seafood, etc. are under great competitive pressure from other localities in the country and from countries with similar advantages. The province does not have a large-scale logistics center, inland ports (ICDs), bonded warehouses, and import-export support service systems are still scattered, transportation costs are high, reducing the competitiveness of goods, etc.
According to the authorities, in the coming period, by continuing to take advantage of the tariff reduction roadmap from FTAs that have come into effect, especially new generation FTAs such as CPTPP, EVFTA, UKVFTA, CEPA..., the province's export products will continue to have a stable growth trend. In order to encourage and promote exports and proactively and actively participate in the global commodity value chain, the province has issued and synchronously implemented policies to support competitiveness enhancement, helping businesses effectively take advantage of the benefits brought by FTAs.
Specifically, continue to vigorously implement administrative procedure reforms to create a favorable investment and business environment for enterprises; promote international trade promotion activities associated with the province's tourism promotion programs abroad to effectively utilize resources, expand consumer markets and promote the image of Ninh Binh to the world. Strengthen coordination between agencies and departments in the area in the fight against smuggling, trade fraud, and fraud of goods origin, contributing to creating a healthy business environment.
Along with that, the province effectively implements the industrial restructuring plan associated with digital transformation, especially for the processing and manufacturing industry to create a breakthrough and new driving force for production and export growth to participate in the global commodity value chain. Promote the construction of production centers and supply of raw materials for export manufacturing enterprises, especially in some important export sectors such as computers and computer components, automobiles and automobile components, electronic components, agricultural products, footwear, textiles, etc. Continue to call for and attract investment in logistics infrastructure projects to rapidly and synchronously develop the infrastructure system, warehouses and yards in industrial parks, clusters, and ICDs; encourage investors to implement diverse logistics infrastructure projects combining loading, unloading, warehousing, transportation, packaging and support, diversifying accompanying services.
At the same time, the province is interested in promoting the development of e-commerce; implementing solutions to develop the market; building support programs, improving the competitiveness of enterprises and products with large export turnover; prioritizing enterprises exporting products with strengths such as handicrafts, agricultural products, garments, automobiles and automobile components, computers and computer components, camera modules, electronic components and other high-tech processed industrial products in accordance with the commitments of the FTAs that Vietnam has signed.
The merger of three provinces into the new Ninh Binh province increases the scale of the production - industrial - logistics region, optimizes the regional supply chain and repositions the export region's brand. The FTAs that Vietnam participates in continue to create an open legal corridor, preferential tariffs, helping goods of Ninh Binh province in particular and Vietnam in general have more favorable conditions to penetrate international markets and effectively exploit export markets.
