As the district has no industrial parks, to bolster development of the sector,
local authorities focus on the transport system to facilitate transportation
and trade; step up administrative reforms; and offer consultations for new
business registration.
They also rolled out incentives to support firms and household businesses in
terms of taxes and land; as well as encouraged families and cooperatives to
develop crafts and farm produce processing on the basis of local resources.
Last year, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, firms, cooperatives and household
businesses in the district maintained operation and applied e-commerce to
expand markets, thereby creating stable jobs for many local workhands.
The production value of the construction sector posted a growth rate of 18.7 percent,
up 3.3 percent against the initial plan for the year, and that of the
industry-handicraft sector exceeded 602.68 billion VND (26.35 million USD).
Statistics showed that the district is currently home to 38
industry-handicraft firms, 42 cooperatives and 1,131 household
businesses.
The Huy Chi general services cooperative in Hung Son commune purchased 55
machines and devices at a cost of nearly 608 million VND. It received financial
aid worth 298 million VND from a national fund for industrial development
encouragement, said Director Bui Van Hiep.
The cooperative specialises in garment-textile for exports, creating stable
jobs for 50 women in the district and surrounding localities.
Bui Hong Dinh, a resident of Chi Ngoai hamlet of Hung Son commune, said that
after more than one year working at the garment factory of the cooperative, her
income became more stable compared to doing farm work.
As the cooperative held training for workers to use the devices and clarified
requirements of export partners, the female workers quickly got used to the new
job.
In the coming time, the district will work to motivate firms, cooperatives and
production facilities to bolster the application of science-technology and
modern equipment to create high-valued products and sharpen competitive edges.
Local authorities will work with relevant agencies to inspect and review
activities to promptly address bottlenecks in product development and
consumption.

In recent times, with its core role in building and fostering great national unity, Cao Phong district's Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee has actively carried out its responsibilities and front work, and closely collaborated with member organisations to encourage locals to implement the Party’s guidelines, and the State’s policies and laws. At the same time, it has worked to promote the dynamism, creativity, and contributions of officials, Party members, and local people to help the district develop further.
