In order for the supporting industries to meet the local production needs, the Provincial People's Committee directs the functional sectors to implement a number of comprehensive solutions to support the supporting industry and promote industrial development in a comprehensive and lasting manner.
Demands for production materials not met
Recognizing the importance of supporting industries, in recent years, the Government has promulgated a series of policies to promote the development of supporting industries. The objective of the supporting industry development program in 2016-2025 is to show that by 2015, supporting industry products must meet about 45% of essential demand for production, domestic consumption and export of 25% value of the industry production; By 2030, 70% of the demand for production and domestic consumption will be met.

However, due to limited resources, up to now, domestic supporting industries have only been in the early stage of development, the enterprises supporting the products in our country are very less, less competitive. The products of Vietnam are poor in terms of types, designs, prices are higher than many products of the same type ... Therefore, not meet the needs of the manufacturing industry. Vietnam accounts for only about 0.3% of the nearly 500,000 Vietnamese enterprises engaging in manufacturing for the supporting industry.
In Binh Duong, information from the Provincial Industrial Zones Authority said that in 2017, there were 374 enterprises operating in the supporting industries, of which 57 were domestic ones. supporting industries in the province have developed more than some localities, but have not met the demand for raw materials for domestic production in both quantity and quality.
According to Luong Ngoc Kim, Vice Chairman of Binh Duong Wood Association, with the position of a key export sector of the province, every year enterprises spend hundreds of millions to buy raw materials for the wood industry. Most of the auxiliary materials such as screws, paints, varnishes, sanding paper ... are supplied by importers for distribution in the Binh Duong market. Raw materials in the wood industry account for a relatively high proportion of production costs of wood products (average 20-30%). It also shows that if supporting industries develop strongly, Binh Duong will have more budget revenue and businesses have enough raw materials for production on the spot, saving a lot of time and money.
According to Nguyen Quang Vu, chairman of the Association of shoes - bags Binh Duong. In fact, at present, the footwear and leather material supply is only about 20-25%, the rest have to import, the design capacity is weak ... Not to mention the big contracts, the foreign partners Usually subcontractors from the "mainland" are designated to meet the quality standards they require. With the characteristics of the footwear industry being the source of raw materials, which account for 60-70% of the cost of products, if there is domestic or domestic auxiliary materials, this industry will increase its competitiveness with competitors in the region, As our country is losing the advantage of cheap labor.
In the textile and garment industry, the domestic supporting industry is now beginning to meet a part of the demand of enterprises, especially the manufacturing of finished goods (FOB). However, the problem is that if the demand for quality is met, the price of raw materials in the country today is higher than that of imported raw materials, so it is also difficult for producers to use raw materials. inland. According to Phan Le Diem Trang - Vice Chairman of Binh Duong Textile and Apparel Association, now the foreign partners when working with businesses set standards of quality very strict. Meanwhile, the gap between quality standards between domestic and foreign enterprises is quite large. Therefore, many companies can not find information about the ability of contracting large enterprises, especially foreign enterprises. Conversely, foreign firms have little information about Vietnamese enterprises. In addition, businesses in the textile industry are reluctant to sign commercial contracts with Vietnamese subcontractors due to the lack of stability in the quality of their goods. They always watch their fear of contract breaches.
