The Industrial Promotion and Development Consultancy Centre under the Department of Industry and Trade of Hoa Binh province has carried out an array of practical and effective programmes, helping local enterprises and rural industrial establishments to improve their competitive edge while making contributions to the province’s industrialisation and modernisation process.
Leaders from the Department of Industry and Trade and the Industrial
Promotion and Development Consultancy Centre conduct the acceptance of the
national industrial promotion project in Luong Son district.
As much as 4.43 billion VND (181,900 USD) was
earmarked for nine industrial development projects in the province in
2023.
Besides carrying out the projects, helping rural
industrial establishments better their competitive capacity towards export, the
centre has worked to introduce local products to consumers through various
fairs, exhibitions and conferences.
Particularly, the bamboo shoot of Kim Boi JSC
became the first product recognised as a national typical rural industrial
goods, which is expected to create a knock-on effect, and encourage other rural
industrial establishments to capitalise on available materials and workers as
well as advanced technologies to produce competitive products, thus expanding
the markets.
During the 2022-2023 period, more than 19.1
billion VND was splashed out to support 18 industrial projects with advanced
technologies in production and communications work on industrial promotion
activities.
The industrial promotion work played an
important role in the development of local garment and textile, mechanics, and
wood and bamboo and rattan processing in 2022 and 2023. The Industrial
Promotion and Development Consultancy Centre joined hands with the Industrial
Promotion and Development Centre 1 under the Agency for Regional Industry and
Trade to carry out various industrial promotion activities to help businesses
and cooperatives to invest in new machines and equipment, and use
state-of-the-art technologies to reduce environmental pollution during
production.
The efforts paid off as they helped improve labour
productivity, reduce production costs, generate jobs for local workers and
fine-tune product quality to meet the market demand.
According to Deputy Director of the provincial
Department of Industry and Trade Duong Quoc Thang, over the past time, the department
has directed its affiliated units to roll out industrial promotion projects,
and keep a close watch on the progress of the projects.
There is an increasing number of rural
industrial establishments, helping create stable jobs for local people while
contributing to the province’s industrial production, and budget
collection.
In the coming time, the department will continue
working to support local firms in modernising their production lines, train
skilled workers, promote economic restructuring in rural areas and in the
province as a whole, among others, he added.
With favourable climate and land advantages, the agriculture sector in Hoa Binh has been attracting investment from enterprises, organisations, and cooperatives, gradually asserting the position of some local specialties in the international market.
Currently, Luong Son district counts 905 business establishments operating in industry and handicraft, helping generate jobs and stable incomes for local labourers.
Hoa Binh scored the highest points in two out of the eight indicators of the Public Administrative Reform (PAR) Index ranking in 2023 that the Ministry of Home Affairs announced on April 17.
A working delegation from Hoa Binh province led by Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Bui Van Khanh is attending a programme to popularise Vietnamese products in the US and Canada on April 20-28.
