South Vietnam’s Climate And Production Solutions

The climate of the Southern region of Vietnam, where our factory is located, presents a tropical monsoon climate characterized by two main seasons: the “Sunny” and “Rainy” seasons. Understanding these climatic variations is crucial, especially when it comes to manufacturing planters. We will show you the relevance between climate and production in this article.

How does climate affect the production?

The “Sunny” season, characterized by higher temperatures, is advantageous for production. The heat expedites the drying process of our products, ensuring faster production times. Additionally, for items requiring surface painting, the warmer, drier conditions facilitate quicker and stronger drying of the paint layers.

Conversely, the “Rainy” season presents challenges. Extended production time is required as products take longer to achieve the necessary dryness due to high humidity. This increased humidity isn’t ideal for painting, as it can lead to paint layer peeling and affect the quality of the finished product.

Moreover, moisture in the firewood can significantly impact glaze quality after burning, making it a challenging time for various types of planters except for metal and outdoor wicker pots, which are less affected. Unfortunately, climate change has made the weather more severe.

How do we deal with it?

To mitigate the effects of the rainy season on our production process, we’ve implemented several strategies:

a. Leveraging the Dry Season for Production: We capitalize on the dry season by encouraging early orders from customers. Producing as much as possible during this period allows us to avoid or reduce the impact of the subsequent rainy season.

b. Increasing Production Molds: To counteract longer drying times during the rainy season, we’ve considered increasing the number of molds used for production. However, as this incurs additional costs, this method might be applied sparingly based on customer requirements.

c. Humidity Control in Painting Areas: During the rainy season, maintaining the quality of the painting process is paramount. We carefully arrange our painting areas in sheltered, windless places to limit exposure to external humidity and rain, ensuring a controlled environment for the painting process.

There is an inseparable relationship between climate and production. By adapting our production methods and planning strategies, we aim to minimize the impact of the seasonal changes and continue to provide high-quality planters despite the climatic challenges posed by the region’s weather patterns.
