Through practical activities, Dong Hung District Business Association has demonstrated its role as a "bridge" between the business community and Party committees and authorities at all levels, supporting members to overcome difficulties, stabilize production and business, and create jobs for workers.

With the support of the District Business Association, Dat Dang Garment Company Limited (Dong Phuong Commune, Dong Hung District) maintains jobs for more than 600 workers.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh Hieu, Me Linh commune shared: Before, I worked as a worker 11km from home, had to leave early in the morning and return home late in the afternoon. Now I work for Truong Son Thinh Company near my home so I have time to take care of my family. I enjoy all the welfare regimes for workers. Even though we are in a difficult period and do not work overtime like before, our income is still stable.

For Ms. Pham Thi Tra, Me Linh commune, not only does she get to work close to home, but what she appreciates most is that while other companies have workers take turns taking time off, here the company still tries to maintain stable jobs for workers, with an income of 7 - 8 million VND/person/month.

Mr. Vu Duy Han, Director of Truong Son Thinh Textile and Garment Company Limited said: Despite many and prolonged difficulties, member enterprises of the District Business Association have united, helped each other with goods sources as well as knowledge and technology, and together promoted production to create jobs and stable income for workers. We have invested billions of dong in buying modern machinery, sending staff to study to use it proficiently, improve product quality, build brands, and create prestige with customers... Thanks to that, the Company still has orders until the end of 2023, exporting an average of 30,000 - 35,000 products per month. Currently, the Company is continuing to negotiate to sign more orders for the first quarter of 2024.

In order to quickly stabilize production and business, have stable jobs to retain more than 600 employees, the Company reorganized production and business, invested more than 10 billion VND to buy machinery and equipment to improve productivity and product quality.

Mr. Pham Ba Huy, Director of the Company said: The Company always receives support and helps to overcome difficulties from Party committees and authorities at all levels; Enterprises in the District Business Association have joined together to overcome difficulties.

Therefore, despite many difficulties, enterprises in the district still produce and do business stably, and the number of enterprises participating in the Association is increasing.

Mr. Pham Van Chien, Chairman of the District Business Association, said: The biggest difficulty for businesses is the lack of orders and the congestion of goods circulation. To help businesses get back on track, the District Business Association called on members to support each other in terms of raw material prices, deferred payment of supplies, self-consumption of remaining goods for each other, and encouragement for each other to overcome difficulties; at the same time, businesses restructure production, deploy solutions suitable to the industry and the capacity of the business.
