This is also one of the first orders of the year, marking the participation of Vietnamese supporting industry enterprises in the international supply chain and OEM export (Manufacture and supply of products according to partners' orders).
Meanwhile, An Thien Pharmaceutical Company in Hiep Phuoc Industrial Park has resumed production since the 6th day of Tet with a rate of 90%, except for those in remote provinces. With the amount of materials prepared before Tet, workers have started working enthusiastically. Currently, orders for production are closed until the end of the second quarter of 2024, workers can completely focus on production. The company's orientation in 2024 will shift from low value-added products to high value-added products.
After the Giap Thin Lunar New Year, the labor force returned to businesses with an impressive index of more than 95%. In particular, the textile, footwear, and woodworking sectors, which were difficult industries in 2023, also had orders until the second and third quarters of 2024... Other industries also saw the return of both international and domestic markets. These are very positive signs of the city's businesses gradually overcoming the difficult period to maintain and develop.
