and increase perks of workers Besides, commerce contributes to ensuring the fairness among the classes in the regions Thirdly, commercial business activities in the province have the ability to protect and improve the quality of the environment, which means the commercial business activities can properly exploit and use the resources in processing goods, limiting the amount of waste (solid, liquid, gas ) into the environment, conserving biodiversity, limiting the factors that cause climate change and ensuring energy security 2.2.2 System of evaluation criteria for sustainable development

development of commerce - Bremen's (Germany) experience in sustainable development of commerce 2.4.2 Experience in sustainable development of commerce of localities in the country - Ho Chi Minh City’s (HCMC) experience in sustainable development of commerce 17 total non-agricultural, forestry and fishery individual economic assets in the whole province In 2018, there are 44183 individual economic assets, accounting for 44,87% of the total nonagricultural, forestry and fishery individual economic assetsin the whole province Secondly, about the capacity of commercial enterprises, especially in the capital size and net revenue of commodity commercial enterprises in Binh Dinh province Average business capital of commercial businesses in Binh Dinh province tends to increase over the years,

is an increase of about 6000 billion VND per year In 2017, the total net revenue of commodity commercial enterprises in Binh Dinh province plummeted to VND 41.538 billion On the other hand, the ratio of net revenue to business capital of commercial enterprises in the province also fluctuates over the years 3.3.4 Commercial market in Binh Dinh province Commercial business activities in Binh Dinh province are relatively stable and maintain at a fairly high growth rate However, due to the volatility of the economy, the purchasing power of domestic and foreign consumers is limited and unstable Besides, suppliers of manufactured goods have not followed the actual demand or closely link between production and consumption, especially in the field of agricultural products, leading to unstability in price of goods The situation of smuggling, fraud, counterfeit goods, fake goods, poor quality goods, goods that not ensure hygiene and safety for human health and the environment are still circulated on the market Because the commercial market in the area is unstable and limited, sustainable development of commerce still have to face many difficulties 3.3.5 Commercial human

increase over the years As of 2017, the number of employees in those enterprises reached 13.877 employees On the other hand, the proportion of labor in the commodity commercial enterprises has not

assessment on the reality of sustainable development of commerce in Binh Dinh province 3.4.1 Results and achievements Firstly, sustainable development of commerce in Binh Dinh has obtained positive results, domestic commercial activities and import-export activities have grown steadily over the years Secondly, in order to bring the commercial activities in the province into market rule, the fight against smuggling, trade fraud, counterfeit goods, poor quality goods and unsafeted food has been strengthened in the local area Thirdly, in order to positively contribute to the local state budget and GRDP of the province, the value added in local commerce in many years has generally reached a higher state than some provinces in the key economic region of the Central region Fourthly, the state management on commercial activities has been built and implemented uniformly by state authorities in Binh Dinh province Fifthly, in order to contribute to improving the efficiency of commerce reducing logistics costs, the infrastructure of province had several developments, step by step meeting the needs of development in commercial activities Sixthly, the number of enterprises operating in commodity commercial and the number of individual business in the commercial activities tend to increase in terms of quantity and business abiliity Finally, the number of employees who are attracted to work in commodity commercial enterprises and the number of employees working in non-agricultural, forestry and fishery individual economic 19 asstets in commodity trade tend to increase 3.4.2 Limitations and reasons Firstly, the commercial infrastructure and logistics is weak, unconnected and developed synchronously The reason is that the local capital is limited and there has been no investment in a number of commercial infrastructures as a nucleus to associate with the surrounding areas Secondly, the institutional environment and the law on trade development are still limited The reason is that the implementation documents are still quite slow, lack of topicality, there are still many difficulties in the implementation and the planning of transport infrastructure for the trade is not synchronized Thirdly, human resources specialized in commerce are lacking and the working efficiency is not high The reason is that the commercially trained human resources are still quite limited and the knowledge, soft skills, professional business skills as well as the management ability of the current commercial human resources are still limited Fourthly, commercial enterprises not have the cooperations, conections and efficiency in product supply chain in commerce, there is still a situation of "every man for himself" Fifthly, the growth rate of commerce, specifically the growth rate of export turnover of goods as well as total retail sales of goods and service revenue tend to decrease and have not reached the set targets In addition, the value added of commercial commodities in Binh Dinh province and the level of contribution of commercial commodities in the province's GRDP also fluctuated over the years The first reason is due to the unpredictable changes in market and commercial promotion activities in the country and abroad have not been paid much attention in Binh Dinh province The second reason is that most of Binh Dinh province's exports are at a low value in the overall value chain On the other hand, the province's sea transport activities are not commensurate, logistics services not meet the requirements and the service fee is much higher than that of neighboring local ports Sixthly, the development of commerce in terms of society is not sustainable Specifically, the average income of workers in the commodity trading enterprises in Binh Dinh tends to be unstable and is lowest among the provinces of the Central key economic region On the other hand, the level of meeting customers' needs for goods trading activities in Binh Dinh province is not high In 20 addition, violations of market principles such as smuggling, trade fraud, counterfeit goods, poor quality goods and unsafe goodsare frequent The reason is that the balance between supply and demand of goods is not really good and the stability is unsured Moreover, the fight against smuggling, trade fraud, counterfeit goods, poor quality goods and unsafe goods are still inadequate Last but not least, waste from commercial activities has a negative impact on the environment and the waste process is not really effective The first reason is that the volume of waste is quite large and the waste processin commerce is still limited since advanced and environmentally friendly technologies have not been used Secondly, the propaganda to raise awareness and responsibility of the community about environment has not been paid enough attention Finally, there are no clear laws on waste process or policies to encourage the use of environmentally friendly energy in commercial activities _ CHAPTER 4: ORIENTATIONS AND SOLUTIONS FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF COMMERCE IN BINH DINH PROVINCE TILL 2025 AND A VIEW TO 2030 4.1 Objectives, directions
