accounting for one-third of Hoa Binh’s export values. It specialises in
producing camera for Samsung smart phones, with production materials being transported
by air.
However, international flights have been frozen in the past
three months due to COVID-19, causing losses of 40 percent to the company in
its output compared to the same period last year.

dual targets of battling the pandemic and maintaining operation. At the moment,
it is recruiting additional 500 workhands to expand production scale.
The firm still faces double obstacles in material shortage
