Vietnam infrastructure construction material shortages

Overview

Vietnam is experiencing widespread delays in infrastructure development due to various material shortages and logistical challenges.

In late August, major expressway and regional projects in the north and south faced deficits of sand, soil, and stone. Specifically, Ho Chi Minh City reported a potential shortage of over 14 million cubic meters of construction sand. In response, the Deputy Prime Minister directed provinces to secure material reserves for long-term projects through 2045.

By early September, localized issues emerged in Gia Lai province, where a rural transportation and irrigation program faced delays due to cement supply mismatches. Officials noted that procurement timelines often resulted in materials arriving during the rainy season rather than the dry season, complicating construction efforts.
