In Dong Nai, export turnover is one of the important indicators in economic development. Therefore, expanding trade with other countries will contribute to double-digit growth for the province this year and in the years to come.
Many markets are still waiting to be exploited.
Dong Nai is a leading industrial production center in Vietnam. Currently, the province has 57 industrial parks (IPs), of which 42 are operational, with an occupancy rate of approximately 76%. The province's IPs attract many domestic and foreign investors to build factories for production. More than 70% of the goods produced by businesses are exported, and nearly 30% are consumed in the domestic market.
Since the beginning of 2025, the global economic situation has been volatile, but businesses in Dong Nai have been flexible, seeking additional customers in new markets. As a result, Dong Nai's export turnover in the first nine months of 2025 has maintained a growth rate higher than the national average.
Mr. Nguyen Van Hoang, General Director of Dong Tien Joint Stock Company, Amata Industrial Park (Long Binh Ward, Dong Nai Province), said: “Our company mainly produces clothing for export to the European market. This market has very high demands for quality, and products must be green and environmentally friendly... Therefore, businesses must transform and invest in green, smart factories to meet customer needs. At the same time, in addition to the European market, the company is also looking for more customers in the US and other markets to ensure a favorable sales outlet.”
In recent times, businesses in Dong Nai have also been very interested in expanding their product markets to other countries and territories to reduce their dependence on a few large markets. This will help businesses reduce risks when countries change their policies on tariffs, technical barriers, etc.
Goods from businesses in Dong Nai have been successfully exported to countries with high quality standards such as the US, Europe, and Japan, making it easier to export to other markets. Currently, businesses in the province are expanding exports to South Korea, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East, Africa, and ASEAN countries.
Increase trade promotion
Since the beginning of the year, the province has organized numerous trade promotion events to support businesses in finding more partners to expand their export markets. Dong Nai is a national industrial production center with a diverse range of products. In particular, the province has many factories applying Industry 4.0 technology, meeting the criteria of green and smart factories, and capable of fulfilling large orders within a short timeframe. This is also an advantage for businesses to secure contracts with international brands.
Mr. Ta Hoang Linh, Director of the Department of Foreign Market Development (Ministry of Industry and Trade), emphasized: "In reality, businesses will face risks when relying solely on a few traditional markets. Diversifying export markets has become an urgent requirement and a goal for export growth."
According to Mr. Linh, in recent years, Vietnamese businesses have effectively utilized the 17 free trade agreements that Vietnam has signed, accessing new markets, minimizing risks due to dependence on certain regions, and expanding their strategic vision in export activities.
Since the beginning of the year, the Ministry of Industry and Trade has coordinated with ministries, sectors, localities, industry associations, domestic and foreign business associations, and international distribution channels to promptly provide solutions to support Vietnamese businesses in overcoming difficulties and orienting long-term development to adapt to market fluctuations. Vietnamese businesses have also flexibly responded and strived to develop in order to maintain and expand export markets even during the most challenging times.
According to the Provincial People's Committee, from the beginning of August 2025, the US will apply a 20% countervailing duty on all goods exported from Vietnam, which will have some impact on the province's import and export activities. However, because signed orders are still being fulfilled and businesses are flexible in opening new markets, the province's export turnover still maintains a high growth rate. Overall, in the first nine months of 2025, Dong Nai's export turnover reached over 25.9 million USD, an increase of nearly 17.3% compared to the same period last year.
Mr. Nguyen Van Linh, Deputy Director of the Dong Nai Investment, Trade and Tourism Promotion Center, said: Exports are one of the important indicators in the province's economic development. Therefore, trade promotion is always a priority for the province to support businesses in connecting with more partners to participate in supply chains, expand production, and increase exports.
The fourth quarter of 2025 marks the beginning of the main production season for businesses in Dong Nai, as well as across the country, with many products such as textiles, footwear, agricultural products, computers, and electronics. It is projected that in 2025, Dong Nai's export turnover could reach approximately 35 billion USD, with a trade surplus exceeding 10 billion USD.
In the first nine months of 2025, the US was Dong Nai's largest export market, with nearly $9 billion, accounting for almost 35% of total export turnover. Major export items to the US included: footwear, wood and wood products, computers, electronic products and components, machinery, equipment, tools and spare parts, textiles, cashew nuts, and transportation vehicles.
