Comparative Edge Boosted

”Cooperation between the authorities and businesses will reduce difficulties, increase comparative edge and make a breakthrough in the industrialisation-modernization.” This is the lesson drawn from the economic development in Dong Thap province. To attract investments, besides the implementation of policy and preferential treatment of the State, Dong Thap authorities have assisted businesses throughout their business activities. Wietnam Business Forum would like to quote voices of local businessmen on how to promote Dong Thap’s business perfomance.

 

With the cooperation of Domesco Import Export Joint Stock Company and Medic Medicine Centre, Ho Chi Minh City, Domedic Private General Hospital started operating since July 2008. It is regarded as the first private hospital equipped with modern technology and experienced medical experts in gynaccology and internal surgery. Thanks to those advantages, Domedic Hospital has won the confidence of the patients on the service of private hospitals.

 

Domedic continues to increase its business efficiency and turnover of 15-20 percent a year. With efficient service and reasonable price, Domedic attracts more and more patients in the province.

 

To promote its efficiency, Domedic will increase and upgrade hospital beds and technology especially services unavailable at provincial level to meet the demand. It will also increase post-graduate training and expertise to ensure local human resources and future development.

 

The company was established in May 2009 with the function of training security and body guards in coordination with police forces in their mission. The company has a strong force of guards of high quality: physical strength, cultural standard, well-trained in profession and ethical value. They are fully committed to service and highly appreciated by customers.

 

In two years of operation, managers and staff members of the company have tried their best to improve their service in the interests of customers and society. With over 500 security guards trained professionally, the company has contributed effectively to the maintenance of law and order in the province. Beside professional training, the security guards are also trained in first aid, fire accident and communication skill to meet diversified and higher demand of customers.

 

I think that in the present conditions of economic integration, individuals and organizations always seek reliable partners to ensure their safety in social and business activities. In the coming years, Truong Son security guards will be upgraded in both expertise and equipment. In response to the confidence of customers, the company will make every effort to improve its expertise and professionalism to provide best service to customers.

 

Dong Thap has the biggest resources in foods and aquatic products in the Mekong Delta. However, so far the advantages have not been exploited successfully. In an attempt to develop local economic potential, in September 2010, I decided to establish Phat Tien Aquatic Products Co., Ltd (FATIFISHCO) with the slogan “Sustainable development for the future.”

 

With advantages in skilled workforce and vast area of over 130 hectares, we have produced successfully products of high quality and competitive prices. The company has supplied local and foreign markets products of advanced technology and strict production line, diversified in kinds and superb in quality. We are recommending the local authorities to give us 15 hectares to build frozen storage and packaging factory to increase the production and export. We will also increase 150 hectares more for aquaculture to ensure stable supply for the industry.

 

I am very pleased with the liberal policy and assistance of the local authorities for our business activities. Within a month after submitting project document, we were granted ready land for the construction of factory. We are so grateful and trying our best to increase business efficiency and contribute to the local socio-economic development.

 

In recent years, products of Dong Thap QVD have gained the reputation among customers, especially those in the United States. Business credibility and product quality are our first considerations

together with development of technology and human resources. Our company continues to increase its competitiveness and develop steadfastly in the integration process.

 

I believe that the province should plan the development of materials areas to meet the demand of local aqua-products industry and sustainable development. As regards Dong Thap QVD, to ensure stable supply for processing and export, in addition to existing 22 hectares, we will invest in Quarter III, 2011 60 hectares to raise Tra fish in Tam Nong district.

 

As a foreign investor in Dong Thap,I am pleased with the policy and friendly treatment of the local authorities towards business community. To ensure an attractive investment environment, Dong Thap should develop better the human resources. Therefore the province should have preferential treatment to attract talents, especially those native of Dong Thap to return after graduation to serve the home province. With due regard to human resources of high quality, Dong Thap will be sure of gaining high achievements in the industrialization-modernization.

 

In food processing industry, Bich Chi Food JSC has established its position and reputation in local and foreign markets with high quality products. Bich Chi products are processed in modern production lines of advanced technology and constant improvement to ensure high productivity and quality, meeting ever higher demand of customers.

 

In the past years, we have unceasingly developed factories, new technology and equipment to increase the production and product quality. Famous Sa Dec flour has conquered not only domestic but also foreign markets with products rich in nutrition and flavour. With joint efforts of the whole staff, the company will develop further and make Bich Chi brand more famous, introducing Dong Thap and Vietnamese products to customers the world over.
