The legalization of logistics real estate and the logistics real estate market, including these issues in the revised Land Law this time, is more important than ever and is an important factor for fast and sustaianable economic development.
Necessary to have logistics real estate legislated
It is necessary to focus on developing both hardware
and sorfware of logistics infrastructure (logistics
industrial parks, hi-tech logistics industrial parks,
logistic centers, logistics clusters...) in the direction
of synchronocity and modernization. At the same
time, it is also necessary to build Vietnam’s logistics
real estate market to attract domestical and foreign
investments in logistics. In addition, priority should
be given to build connecting transport network
in the direction of multi-modal transport for
efficient deployment of Vietnam’s existing logistics
infrastructure for logistics cost reductions; speeding
up constructions of logistics industrial parks, hi-
tech logistics industrial parks, logistics centers, and
warehouse systems in the direction of modernization
for transport modal linkages, economic linkage,
promotion of productions and value increases for local
and enterprises’ products; speeding up constructions
of logistics real estate- logistics industrial parks and
logistics centers, reducing loads on roads and airways,
reducing congestions and accidents and especially
reducing logistics costs for enterprises in the time
of fierce competitions today; building logistics
industrial parks, hi-tech logistics industrial parks,
logistics and warehouse system in the direction of
synchronocity and modernization as basis for green-
economy development, circular economy, civilized traffic and trade, and digital economic realization; not allowing the National Road 1A, HCM Road and coastal expressway and other expressway to go into “old tracks” of the existing urban areas: lacks of schools and play grounds, industrial parks without logistics industry, no logsistcs points or rest places on the whole HCM Road... which resulted in many inadequacies on roads, like those in Ha Noi- Lao Cai Expressway.
A newly- constructed infrastructure soon turned to be a downgraded one after a short time and the Government has to do another site clearance and compensation works to solve problems (Dang Dinh Dao 2018, 2021).

Logistics real estate and logistics real estate market should be legislated, forming promptly development policies which is expected to bring socio-economic benefits for both the economy and enterprises from the perspective of the national economy on the basis.
Developing logistics real estate and logistics real estate market are premises for Vietnam to attract logistics investors and foreign logistics groups to promote product consuming and import- export, especially increasing values for Vietnam’s agricultural products and increasing profits for the Government’s and localities’ budgets.

With logistics business being carried out in logistics industrial parks, logistics centers, and “logistics villages”, Vietnam’s logistics providers have conditions to connect with foreign logistics providers, and thus they can be leading logistics enterprises to dominant Vietnam’s logistics market. But currently, Vietnam’s logistics providers have been outsourcing in stages for foreign logistics groups (through offices, brances or FDI enterprises). For example, 90% of Vietnam’s export goods has been transported by sea way, however, Vietnam’s logistics providers are in charge of 10-12% of them only.

Therefore, it is necessary and urgent building and developing logistics infrastructure- in the first place, logistics industrial parks, hi-tech logistics industrial parks, logistics clusters and logistics centers- and legislating logistics real estate. Logistics real estate legislation and putting it into the revised Land Law is of importance and it is also premises for development of Vietnam’s logistics sector in the coming time. It will help to built suitable mechanisms and policies for developments of logistics real estate and logistics real estate market, contributing to the economic growth and sustainable developments in current conditions.
