Current status of transportation and logistics infrastructure in relation to the development of key agricultural products in the Central Highlands

The Central Highlands is an important agricultural region of Vietnam, well known for its production of coffee, pepper, rubber, cashew nuts, tea, and vegetables. However, its logistics infrastructure, which relies mainly on road transportation, faces significant challenges such as long delivery times, high costs, and limited connection, reducing the competitiveness of agricultural products. Highway and railway projects are currently being implemented to improve connection and reduce logistics costs. This paper assesses the current state of transportation and logistics infrastructure in the Central Highlands, analyzes its challenges, and examines the impact of infrastructure development projects on the growth of key agricultural products. Based on this, the paper proposes solutions for developing logistics infrastructure in connection with the advancement of several strategic agricultural commodities in the region.
