The Dong Nai Logistics Association was established to serve as a representative organization for enterprises in the fields of transportation, logistics, and seaports in the province.
Its objectives and tasks include building a model that connects businesses, government agencies, and logistics infrastructure to improve the efficiency of goods coordination. It will specifically contribute to the development of Dong Nai’s logistics services, associated with digital transformation, distribution centers, ICD dry ports, green logistics, and agricultural logistics. The association is also responsible for proposing solutions to develop modern logistics services linked to the supply chains of the Southeast region.

Representing the provincial leadership in assigning tasks to the association, Director of the Department of Industry and Trade Vu Ngoc Long emphasized: Dong Nai’s logistics sector plays a crucial role in the current economic context. The establishment of the Dong Nai Logistics Association is essential and aligns with the province’s practical development requirements as well as integration trends.

Dong Nai currently has 57 industrial parks, modern ICD ports, and a strongly developing logistics network, especially with Long Thanh International Airport gradually taking shape. The province possesses optimal conditions for robust logistics development, contributing to national and regional supply chains.

The association needs to effectively fulfill its role as a bridge between businesses and state management agencies; serve as a forum for connection, experience sharing, standards, and technology. At the same time, it should accompany the province in developing logistics centers and modern service chains linked with Long Thanh Airport and industrial zones.
