The Mekong Delta is a strategically important region in terms of politics, economics, socio-culture, culture, national defense and security, and foreign affairs of the country. It was also one of the six key economic regions, contributing about 50% of rice output, 95% of rice exports, 65% of aquaculture production, and 70% of all types of fruits nationwide. The potential and demand for logistics services were significant, but the current infrastructure and capacity of the logistics service industry in the region still faced limitations, not contributing much to the economic and social development of the area.
Based on the need to enhance the role of logistics in the economic development of the region, on December 2nd, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, in coordination with the People's Committee of Can Tho City, organized the Vietnam Logistics Forum 2023 with the theme "Logistics and Digital Transformation for the Mekong Delta."
During the forum, delegates expressed the view that digital transformation in logistics helped reduce logistics costs, improve service quality and customer experience, enhance internal organization cohesion, and connectivity within the supply chain. This, in turn, improved efficiency and enhanced the competitiveness of businesses, the logistics service industry, and the entire economy in general.
This was an opportunity for GLOTRANS to meet, exchange, and learn more about the Mekong Delta market, thereby identifying customer needs and creating value for the development of the Logistics industry in the Southwest region. It positioned the GLOTRANS brand widely across the country, accompanying the "Digital Transformation" campaign in the Vietnamese Logistics industry.
As the United States officially imposes countervailing duties of up to 46% on certain export products from Vietnam, the Vietnamese logistics sector is facing significant challenges—including rising operational costs, longer shipping times, and the risk of supply chain disruptions.
It is evident that digitalization has become the defining trend of the modern era. Across all industries and sectors, businesses are shifting from traditional development strategies to automation and digital transformation, aiming to optimize operational efficiency and productivity.
Europe remains one of the most important and promising export markets for Vietnamese enterprises, especially following the implementation of the EU–Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA). With a population of over 740 million and a total GDP of approximately USD 18 trillion, the region has a strong and diverse demand for imports ranging from agricultural products and processed foods to industrial goods, electronics, and textiles.
