The mechanical and manufacturing industries have been identified as one of the key sectors of the economy during the past years. For Dong Nai, the mechanical and manufacturing industry has great potential for development, but most of the enterprises (enterprises) in the province are limited in scale and resources, subject to fierce competition with enterprises. foreign countries should not fully promote their potentials.

To solve the difficulties, the business community needs stronger local policies to help the industry continue to develop, take advantage of its advantages, and progress to fair competition with products from foreign enterprises.
* Enterprises need the support to "grow up"
Choosing the field of supporting mechanical industry, producing vibrating hoppers, automatic feeding machines to supply for manufacturing enterprises, Mr. Ngo Thanh Binh, Director of Production Service Trading Co., Ltd. Quyet Thang (Bien Hoa City) initially had certain successes. Although being a small enterprise, the products of this company researched and manufactured are highly applicable and learned by many companies in the industrial park to cooperate and order.
Although the initial success was quite successful, in fact, Mr. Binh's enterprise also faced many difficulties, in which the production site was factor 1. Finding the right premises is very "miserable". For this enterprise because it had to change factories several times due to inactivity in the location and insufficient investment resources compared to the current capacity.
Similarly, with a larger scale is Kim Vinh Thang One Member Limited Liability Company located in Bien Hoa Industrial Park 1. Mr. Phan Van Tu, the company's director, shared, during more than 10 years of starting up, due to investment capital. Therefore, he often has to "take short and long bite" to survive and develop.
It is also the lack of capital that leads to limited investment in technology, leading to a lack of cooperation opportunities for businesses. Because if there is investment in new technology, product quality is more standard and the issue of care for employees is also more stable. These factors, when foreign partners visit the production line, will appreciate the enterprise's capacity and choose to cooperate.
In addition, the competition from mechanical and manufactured products of Chinese companies is also increasingly fierce. While most Vietnamese enterprises are small and medium, the "competitors" from China have many advantages. Due to good resources, stable raw materials, and wide linkages, the molding products of Chinese enterprises are quite cheap. Not to mention, production costs of Vietnamese enterprises are higher, so the cost of products increases significantly.
The aforementioned difficulties of enterprises are something that state management agencies need to consider to support the development of this key manufacturing industry. From the perspective of organizing the collection of small and medium enterprises, Mr. Dang Van Diem, Chairman of Dong Nai Young Entrepreneurs Association, said that it is time to take off the pressure for small and private enterprises to develop above all else. all fields. Accordingly, building new support policies for small and medium enterprises should be implemented earlier, helping the business community to gain advantages and grow up from there.
* Find a plan to support businesses
In order to urgently develop and raise the level of domestic mechanical engineering enterprises in the province, in recent years, there are also supporting policies that have been integrated to build. Particularly in 2020, the Department of Industry and Trade is conducting a survey of enterprises in the mechanical and manufacturing industries. The survey of production situation, scale, development orientation, impacts due to difficulties of Covid-19 epidemic ... will be the basis for building solutions to support development in 2020 and time. next.
