Abstract

Vietnam’s water, rail, and road transportation industry has enough moving stock to transport an estimated 70 million M.T. of freight annually. The country’s postwar agricultural freight transport requirements are estimated at 6.5 million M.T. Thus, the industry appears capable of handling the postwar agricultural transport task. However, repair of railroad and highway roadbeds, some dredging of waterways, and security of routes will be necessary to attain the moving stock capability. Construction of farm-to-market roads in new agricultural areas and improvement in basic water and land routes and in transport moving stock could substantially lower costs and increase efficiency of transport. Consequently, it would encourage the country’s economic development. Recommendations for transportation improvements are given.
