According to Mr. Lam, China is the fourth largest import market of Vietnam's plastic products, with a turnover of US $ 148.7 million, accounting for 4.3% of total plastic product export turnover.

 

Currently many businesses in the plastic industry import raw materials, chemicals and additives mostly from China.

 

If the situation lasts until the end of the first quarter, there will be no production materials, affecting the progress of export orders of businesses. At the same time affecting the jobs of workers, the costs businesses incur in the time of no orders.
