Nguyen Duc Hong, Deputy General Director of Thong Nhat Rubber Company, said that the company has five production plants and is supplying auxiliary products to a number of foreign corporations operating in the fields of automobiles and electricity. , electronics, mechanics, minerals ... However, products of the company can only sell to secondary suppliers, not sold to the end user, so the value added is not high.

For example, the rubber sole of Thong Nhat is used for the entire Innova brand car system, but the company has to sell this product to the secondary supplier that is the manufacturing company. This is not to mention, to become a supplier, the company must have a quality certificate of each type of product supply, provided by an independent international rating agency, at a cost of 15,000 USD / time and after 3 years must conduct re-evaluation.

Accordingly, there should not be too many management agencies and support enterprises to develop supporting industries as now, leading to overlapping in the implementation process but the efficiency is not high. Regulators must have the authority and capacity to implement corporate support policies.

In addition, it is necessary to improve labor skills and infrastructure development, taking into consideration factors connected with the countries in the same supply chain to increase the ability to connect the market. Restructure the market economy towards more equitable competition. In certain areas, there is a need for government intervention to promote the sector ...

Phan Duc Hieu, deputy director of the Central Institute for Economic Management, acknowledged that our policy has two weaknesses: too general and fragmentary thinking.
