Logistics – The major service industry of HCMC
Ms. Phan Thi Thang, Vice Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee, said that with the role of the city as the driving force for economic development of the whole country, the city aims to develop logistics to become a key service industry. Accordingly, by 2025, the growth rate of logistics service revenue of (HCMC) enterprises will reach 15% and reach 20% by 2030.
The proportion of logistics contribution to HCMC's GRDP will reach 10% by 2025 and 12% by 2030; which helps in reducing the country's logistics costs compared to the national GDP by 2025 to about 10-15%.
In particular, HCMC only has the Logistics Center of the High-Tech Park of Ho Chi Minh City (6ha) which is still in the stage of investor selection; The remaining 6 centers are mainly at the zoning planning stage (1/2000).
Projects "similar to logistics centers" deployed by enterprises such as cold storage in Vinh Loc Industrial Park (Binh Tan district), e-commerce warehouse in Cu Chi district ... are also in the process of construction, not yet available. which none of any actual hubs operate.
"Besides the advantages of implementation process, the city also recognizes that there are two major bottlenecks that are hindering the city's logistics development. The first bottleneck is the problem of logistics infrastructure and the second is about human resources development", Ms. Thang said.
Regarding human resources, Mr. Le Huynh Minh Tu, Deputy Director of HCMC Department of Industry and Trade, said that there are currently 699.566 logistics enterprises in the country, only 4.000 of which are professional logistics enterprises. The city accounts for 31% of logistics enterprises in the country and 54% of professional logistics enterprises.
The Vietnam logistics report in 2021 of the Ministry of Industry and Trade shows that the demand for logistics personnel each year increases by about 7,5%. Ho Chi Minh City alone in the 2021-2025 period needs 63.000 logistics workers/year, among that, more than 8.400 professional logistics workers are needed.
To meet the human resource demands for the logistics industry, HCMC has identified two strategic tasks: accelerating short-term training for small and medium-sized logistics enterprises to supplement the labor shortage. Focus on training intensive human resources to be at international level that can link with provinces for training.
According to HCMC logistics development project to 2025 and vision to 2030 of the Department of Industry and Trade of Ho Chi Minh City, the city needs to have 7 standard logistics centers with the cargo throughput capacity (TEU) of each logistics center as follows: :
