Thai Nguyen possesses significant reserves of various minerals, including tungsten, lead, zinc, iron, titanium, coal, and construction materials. In recent times, local entities and authorities have implemented advanced extraction and processing technologies to increase the value-added of these mineral resources, create employment opportunities, and boost the province’s budget revenue.

The shifting global supply chains are opening up opportunities for Viet Nam to enhance its position on the international production and trade map. However, these opportunities can only truly become a driver of growth when Vietnamese enterprises have sufficient capacity to participate more deeply in value chains, rather than merely undertaking low-value-added stages.

The green transition is placing demands on comprehensive innovation across the processes of production, processing and circulation of goods. In this context, many universities and colleges have created spaces for students to propose solutions to increase the value of agricultural products and local products through technology, circular thinking and supply chain management.

Research into participating in the semiconductor and rare earth value chains is expected to open up new development opportunities for Viet Nam's chemical industry, contributing to the implementation of the Party's and the State's major policies on advancing science, technology and innovation, while strengthening the leading role of state-owned enterprises in strategic technology sectors. 

Although Viet Nam ranks among the world's top three textile and garment exporters, the industry's value added remains relatively low and unstable due to its heavy reliance on imported raw materials and accessories. To enhance competitiveness and increase value creation, the country needs to accelerate the development of specialised textile industrial parks alongside supporting industries while making full use of the sector's integrated production ecosystem.

Viet Nam and the Republic of Korea (RoK) still have ample room to strengthen supply chain connectivity in key industries such as electronics, semiconductors and food processing, experts said at the 2026 Ho Chi Minh City–RoK investment cooperation and business networking forum held in Ho Chi Minh City on May 20.

With its available potential, Viet Nam needs not only to exploit rare earth element intelligently but also to build a transparent supply chain that fully capitalises on its resource advantages.

The Halal food market is seeing major shifts in demand and in new product standards, moving from a focus on certification to comprehensive supply chain oversight, alongside tighter control of certifying bodies and transaction data.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has directed ministries, sectors, localities and State-owned groups to prioritise maintaining macroeconomic stability and accelerating export growth.

From controlling planting areas and product quality to organising domestic and international consumption, the cooperative model is becoming an important “link” that helps Viet Nam’s agricultural products establish sustainable value chains.

In the context of a dynamic global energy transition, enhancing the competitiveness and position of Vietnamese enterprises in the global energy supply chain is not only an urgent necessity but also a strategic opportunity for the country to make breakthroughs and deepen its global integration.

In an effort to realise its commitment to net zero emissions by 2050, Viet Nam is gradually tightening regulations on vehicle emissions.

RX Tradex Viet Nam, the Japan External Trade Organisation (JETRO) Ha Noi Office, and the Viet Nam Trade Promotion Agency (VIETRADE) under the Ministry of Industry and Trade held a press conference, in Ha Noi, on June 3, and signed a cooperation agreement to co-organise two large-scale exhibitions in the manufacturing and supporting industries.
