Dong Nai aims for Top 10 spot in 2025 e-commerce index

The People's Committee of the southern province of Dong Nai has unveiled a plan to maintain the province's position among the top 10 localities in Vietnam's E-commerce Business Index (EBI) by 2025.

This objective is outlined in Plan No. 127/KH-UBND, which focuses on fostering e-commerce.

The plan seeks to deepen the integration of e-commerce into business, production, and consumption activities across the province. By implementing innovative solutions, Dong Nai aims to establish e-commerce as an indispensable part of the province's socio-economic development. These efforts will empower businesses, cooperatives, and production facilities to boost efficiency, expand market reach, and enhance productivity.

Plan 127 goes beyond viewing e-commerce as just a modern sales channel. It highlights its role as a key contributor to State management, particularly in areas such as product traceability, brand promotion, rural digital economy development, and the adoption of cutting-edge technologies from the Industry 4.0.

To achieve these goals, the province will focus on updating and improving its legal and policy frameworks to better support e-commerce development. Outdated regulations will be replaced with mechanisms more attuned to the current context and evolving digital landscape.

Dong Nai's foundation for e-commerce advancement is bolstered by its 32 active industrial zones, which have attracted a substantial number of foreign direct investments (FDI) in the information and communication technology (ICT) sector, including projects in the electrical and electronics industries.
