Update news logistics cost
The government wants its agencies and businesses to reduce logistics cost to enhance the competitiveness of the country’s goods.
Inflated logistics costs were hampering the competitiveness of Vietnamese goods, according to Chairman of the Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association (VITAS) Vu Duc Giang.
Logistics fees in Vietnam account for 20.9 percent of the country’s GDP, of which transport costs account for 60 percent, twice as much as developed economies such as Japan (11 percent) and EU countries (10 percent), according to the World Bank.
