The path to start a business in the context of extensive international integration is currently rich in potential, but also facing many fierce challenges. If we dare to commit and boldly face challenges, the path to start a business promises to be successful. When the entrepreneurial spirit and entrepreneurial culture flourish among all classes of people, especially among the younger generation, it will become the strongest driving force, mainly promoting economic development and social development.
Mr. Tran Duy Phong, Founder and Executive Director of silver shrimp Joint Stock Company, said that starting a business is difficult but easy. The difficulty is that at first they did not know what to do, where to go, where to start a business...
Dr. Pham Thi Hong Phuong, ECOTEC Community School, also said that startups need 7 houses, not 4 houses as before. According to her, more media is needed because if the product is good, if it is good but not good, the product will not be able to reach many customers and the public.
There is no shortage of natural products
In Ca Mau, through many startups, there have been many products that have been accepted by the market from natural products.
That is Mr. Do Quoc Khanh and his wife, Da Bac commune, Ca Mau, who started out by bringing black rice to U Minh's soil to produce tea bags. After researching and receiving the attention of organizations in Ca Mau, Khanh and his wife's black tea products were accepted by the market.
Also in this land, for the first time, mangrove leaves have been purified to become a food to support the treatment of liver function.
There are countless U Minh Ha banana trees, banana products are not harmful, but banana leaves are processed into medicinal herbs to start a business by Ca Mau banana village.
Khanh Lap, Da Bac, and Ca Mau facilities have taken advantage of cajuput leaves to produce essential oil products for production and consumption that are accepted by the market.
Mr. Huynh Khanh Lap, the owner of the facility, said: Starting a business at first encountered many difficulties, but I was determined to succeed. Starting a business without having to go far, wherever, but in your hometown, the plants around here can make products.
From shrimp, crab, crab, tripe... Ca Mau is not lacking in products and foods created through the creativity of the people. Shrimp infusion cakes, dried shrimp, silkworm shrimp, three cloves of salt, shrimp luck... are typical products.
The Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Ca Mau province suggested that the standing agency of the Provincial Steering Committee for Supporting Startups and Creative Start-ups and members of the Steering Committee study the policy mechanisms and issues that need to be proposed to competent authorities for better support, and clear up bottlenecks to support creative start-ups.
