On the other hand, foreign companies wishing to source goods in Vietnam may
find that their supplier has difficulties finding raw materials and components at a
competitive price as the local supplying industry is still underdeveloped and a lot
has to be imported. Apart from the price issue, this means that production may be
delayed due to raw materials being stuck at customs. Further delays may occur due
to electricity outages and logistics problems as roads are often in a bad condition
and transport by railway is not available
