Dong Nai targets trade surplus of over $8 bil in 2025

(ĐN)- In 2025, Dong Nai targets over US$32 billion in export turnover, marking a 17% increase year-on-year. The recent merger with Binh Phuoc province on July 1st is expected to create new momentum, expanding export capacity and pushing the province’s trade surplus to over US$8 billion.

Currently, Dong Nai hosts 45 active industrial parks, with many domestic and foreign enterprises accelerating factory construction and equipment installation to begin operations. In the first half of 2025, the province recorded nearly USD 16 billion in exports, up nearly 20% year-on-year.

The merger is enhancing resource optimization and regional connectivity, reducing logistics costs, and streamlining production and trade. Major investors such as Hyosung, Formosa, Lixil, and Schaeffler are expanding operations in the province.

Dong Nai has consistently ranked among the top localities nationwide for trade surplus, contributing 20–30% of Vietnam’s total in recent years. Meanwhile, Binh Phuoc achieved a trade surplus of US$ 1.7 billion in 2024. The consolidation of the two provinces is expected to scale up the regional economy and elevate export value.

Local authorities are focusing on infrastructure development, international trade promotion, and encouraging enterprises to adopt digital technologies and cross-border e-commerce. Businesses are also working to diversify export markets, reducing reliance on traditional partners such as the U.S., Japan, South Korea, the EU and China. Currently, Dong Nai maintains trade relations with approximately 180 countries.
