Conflicts in the Gulf region, particularly the ongoing tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, have exerted significant pressure on international maritime supply chains, directly driving up commodity prices, including those in the Vietnamese paper industry.

This instability directly impacts strategic commodities such as Old Corrugated Containers (OCC), packaging carton rolls, tissue paper, and pulp. As this is a vital maritime artery, any disruption leads to a surge in operating costs and raw material prices. 

As this is a strategic maritime route for global energy and container trade, the unrest has driven up oil prices and maritime insurance costs. Consequently, ocean freight rates have escalated, and delivery times for imported orders have been significantly prolonged.
