Dong Nai-based businesses focus on legal raw material sources

In industrial production, Dong Nai relies heavily on imported raw materials, accounting for 50–70% in sectors such as textiles, footwear, steel products, electronics, wood products, and machinery. In the first quarter of this year, Dong Nai’s export value exceeded USD 5.9 billion, while raw material imports were over USD 4.1 billion.

Experts warn that major markets like the US, Europe, Japan, South Korea, and the Middle East are tightening requirements on product origin and favoring green, circular, and low-carbon production standards. To ensure sustainable exports, businesses must strictly control raw material sources, ensuring they are legal and environmentally friendly.

Currently, many enterprises still lack focus on tracing the production process of their materials. As technical barriers increase, companies that use green, traceable raw materials will have greater opportunities to expand exports and reduce risks from shifting trade policies.
