assigns specific tasks to departments, agencies, sectors and localities to help
develop and support SMEs.
With the participation of administrations at all
levels and sectors, it has created a driving force to help businesses thrive.
Accordingly, the provincial People's Committee has urged localities to promote
technological assistance by guiding enterprises to apply management systems,
productivity improvement tools. The province also provides supports for
enterprises to implement origin traceability systems, apply good agricultural
practices, and develop organic agricultural production.
