Solutions For Outsourced Logistics Development In Vietnamese Seafood Export-Import Enterprises

Abstract

This study aims to propose solutions for the development of outsourced logistics in Vietnamese seafood export-import enterprises. The research is based on the government’s viewpoint: Developing logistics as a key economic sector with many competitive advantages involving the participation of various economic sectors. Logistics is considered a driving factor and infrastructure base to promote socio-economic development by enhancing goods production and increasing consumer goods consumption. Logistics should be prioritized for rapid and sustainable investment, laying the groundwork for the country's socio-economic development. Data was collected from 1995 to 2020 using methods such as statistical analysis, balanced analysis, interpretation, induction, synthesis, logic, and forecasting. Based on the research results, the author proposes the following groups of solutions for logistics development: Solutions for logistics infrastructure development (developing road systems, railways, waterways, seaports, air transport systems, and logistics infrastructure; improving quality and connectivity of infrastructure); solutions for information technology development (designing functional public information platforms for seafood logistics centers, building public information platforms for the seafood logistics sector, and developing IT infrastructure); solutions for fisheries industry policy development (standardizing operational processes, establishing a unified legal framework for logistics operations, modernizing customs and other clearance procedures, issuing preferential policies to encourage investment in logistics, and establishing logistics centers in the seafood industry); solutions for human resource development (enhancing logistics education at training institutions, increasing internal employee training within enterprises).
