With hundreds of products in the fields of industry, agriculture, and handicrafts, Thanh Hoa is making many efforts to connect to improve production and expand distribution and business networks. The northern provinces with large consumer markets and favorable inter-regional connectivity are being identified by Thanh Hoa as potential partners in the coming time.

Rarely does any locality converge products with complex production processes that are among the top in the region and the world, as well as traditional products that have existed for hundreds of years. Among the projects put into operation in Nghi Son Economic Zone, there have appeared names in the world's top 200 such as: Idemitsu Kosan Corporation; Marubeni Corporation, Mitsui Chemicals; Taiheiyo Cement Corporation (Japan); Kepko Group of Korea; SK Engineering & Construction (Korea); Kuwait Petroleum International (Kuwait); Musim Mas Group (Singapore)... The national and international-scale factories of these investors have come into operation, raising the prestige and position of Thanh products, not only domestically but also internationally.
Along with industry, Thanh Hoa's agriculture is not only abundant, but also successful with quality supply chains, with the participation of many famous enterprises. Thanh Hoa is also famous for its craft villages that have been resilient over time, especially with 522 OCOP products, ranking second in the country.
Convenient connection and trade with all types of roads, railways, waterways, seaways and airways, especially Nghi Son deep-water port is a special advantage for Thanh Hoa to enhance communication, connection, and promote consumption activities to the large market.
Building a “stepping stone” for connections at the national, regional and local levels, creating opportunities for production, distribution and consumption entities to meet, exchange and transfer production technology, many connection programs have been continuously organized by Thanh Hoa province recently. Through these activities, it is expected to move towards substantial “handshakes” to realize many sustainable relationships in the future.
At the Conference connecting enterprises producing, importing, exporting and distributing industrial, handicraft and agricultural products of Thanh Hoa province with provinces and cities in the Northern region in 2024, General Director of Vietnam International Trade and Investment Promotion Joint Stock Company (Hanoi) Nguyen Thi Dung, expressed: “It has been a long time since I returned to Thanh Hoa, but I was extremely surprised to learn and introduce the diverse, unique and outstanding products of Thanh Hoa. I am also particularly impressed with the way Thanh Hoa province works when the authorities and functional sectors always create many opportunities for enterprises to access from production technology to meeting trade partners, establishing and promoting consumption activities. As a connecting enterprise, bringing the quintessence of Vietnam to the world, I will learn and introduce, bringing prestigious Thanh products to new markets in the future".
Thanh Hoa currently has 300 enterprises operating in the textile and garment sector. With the accession to new generation free trade agreements, enterprises in the industry have many opportunities to "benefit" from preferential tariff policies. However, Thanh Hoa's garment industry has not yet accessed many of these policies due to its dependence on raw materials from China. Expressing his expectation of connecting with enterprises that have invested in production and participated in the supply of raw materials for the textile and garment industry, General Director of Tien Son Group Joint Stock Company Trinh Xuan Luong said: "Our enterprise has 10 factories with more than 10,000 employees. We always prioritize the maximum use of domestic raw materials and materials in the composition of products. At this conference, it is an opportunity for us to exchange and connect with enterprises that have invested in production and participated in the supply of raw materials for the textile and garment industry. This is also the orientation of enterprises in proactively providing raw materials, reducing dependence on foreign markets; At the same time, increase the production rate according to ODM method (self-design, purchase fabric and raw materials, cut, sew, finish, pack and transport), gradually reduce the rate of outsourcing sewing, increase profit efficiency for enterprises".
Along with the activities of introducing, exchanging, sharing production and business experiences and introducing products, production capacity, production scale; production and business situation of the province's key products, supply capacity and consumption demand, linking and cooperating in business, the conference's sideline activities with exhibition space, introducing industrial, handicraft and agricultural products of Thanh Hoa province and the northern provinces and cities in 2024 also created opportunities for businesses to introduce to customers and distributors to experience products and form cooperative relationships. Memorandums of understanding and cooperation agreements have also been made, aiming to connect production and consumption of prestigious products of Thanh Hoa.
Long Hai Trading, Transport and Processing Joint Stock Company is currently ranked in the top 5/45 domestic enterprises favored by markets such as Korea, China, Malaysia, Japan and Russia with its dominant product line being Surimi. Recently, the company "launched" a new product line called "Long Hai Sea Fish Cake" with an orientation towards the domestic market. General Director of the company Trinh Thi Cuc said: "Currently, the company's products are all processed on modern technological lines, applying a quality management system according to HACCP standards and international certificates according to the requirements of the markets. At this exhibition, not only do customers and distributors have the opportunity to introduce, they also have the opportunity to experience directly, thereby having assessments and comments on products suitable for Vietnamese tastes".

The story of "supply exceeding demand" or "good harvest, low price" is still one of the "hot" issues in the consumption of goods. In Thanh Hoa, although consumption activities have initially achieved results, according to the statement of the Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Van Thi at the conference connecting enterprises producing, importing, exporting and distributing industrial, handicraft and agricultural products of Thanh Hoa province with provinces and cities in the Northern region in 2024: "The proportion of goods distributed through the system linking production and consumption according to the value chain is still low; large-scale and stable consumption and distribution chains have not been formed, limiting the expansion of production, business markets, and exports... Those limitations require all levels and sectors to accompany enterprises to clearly understand the current situation and research solutions to overcome them. In particular, exchange and connection activities between manufacturing enterprises in the province and enterprises distributing and consuming products and goods to key markets need to be focused on more."
According to Phan Van Chinh, Director of the Domestic Market Department (Ministry of Industry and Trade), from the positive production results, Thanh Hoa needs to pay more attention to establishing distribution channels in the direction of regional linkage. With special advantages in transportation, especially by sea with the Nghi Son deep-water port system, Thanh Hoa can deeply connect with regional consumption and import-export chains with the Northern region that have been formed and professionally developed, thereby increasing consumption activities for businesses in all fields; at the same time, developing logistics services worthy of the advantages.
