1.4.2. Filler Master Batches 7 1.4.4. Color Master Batch tch 8 1 INTRODUCTION Since the issuance of new policies on diplomacy and economy of Vietnamese government in 1986, namely Doi Moi era, Vietnam has set up its business relationship with most countries in the world, even with former millitary opponents such as the United States or Japan. Every year, exportation contributes billions of dollars to the GDP of Vietnam. In general, our main exports consist of most agricultural products such as rice, coffee, pepper, etc. and raw natural resources such as crude oil and ores, as well as shoes, clothing and handicraft products, all of which are very low value- added. Meanwhile, we import manufactured goods and luxuries like car, branded clothing, alcohol, which has made Vietnam suffer a trade deficit for a long time. In order to improve the balance of trade, the government has encourage Vietnamese enterprises to shift from processing goods to order of foreign companies to producing high value-added products for exportation. According to the schedule of Foreign Trade University, I spent a five-week internship at Europlast Joint Stock Company, which majors in importing raw material and manufacturing polymer and plastic products for domestic consumption as well as exportation. Under the training of my direct instructor, Ms Pham Thi Ngoc Mai, as well as the condescention of the company’s staff, I have been given a great opportunity to apply my academic knowledge to practical problems and compare with the theories I have learned at the university. Based on my background knowledge and the experience I gained during my intership, I decide to choose the topic for this report as: “Import- export practices at Europlast Jsc”. The report consits of three separate parts: Chapter 1: General information about business practices of Europlast Jsc., Chapter 2: Import – export practices at Europlast Jsc., Chapter 3: Suggestions offered to enhance the efficiency of Europlast Jsc., in international trade 2 Due to my limitation of knowledge, skills and experience, mistakes and faults are inevitable. I welcome all comments, advices and suggestions that help me improve the quality of the report. Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to my instructors and Europlast staff for helping me complete my mid-course internship. Ha Noi, July 18 th , 2013 Lương Kim Anh 3 1.
