Weak logistics services cause great losses to Mekong Delta exporters
The poor logistics services in the Mekong Delta have pushed up the costs of export goods, especially farm produce, and caused great losses to export firms, it was reported at a workshop on enhancing connectivity to improve value chains of farm produce and aquatic products in the Mekong Delta, held in Can Tho city on April 23.
Deputy Director General of Minh Phu Seafood Corp Chu Van An said his company, which is based in the Mekong Delta, has to transport goods to Ho Chi Minh City for export, resulting in huge costs. According to him, if goods can be directly shipped abroad from Mekong Delta localities, the company could save between 30-40 percent of transport costs.
