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.
In Lac Thuy district, communes have been succeeded in promoting their One Commune-One Product (OCOP) products while others are still struggling to position their typical farming products in market. Some communes in the district still fail to have their products met OCOP programme’s requirements, while others have seen their certifications expired.
The inspectorate agency of Hoa Binh province has issued Official Dispatch No. 1090/TTr-PCTN to provincial departments, agencies, localities, business associations, enterprises, and investors regarding measures to improve informal component indexes of the Provincial Competitiveness Index (PCI).
Hoa Binh is taking concrete steps to improve its investment environment, with a strong focus on supporting businesses, settling obstacles for strategic investors, and creating opportunities for robust development in the coming years.
Under the blazing early summer sun, the construction site of Nhuan Trach Industrial Park (IP) in Luong Son district is abuzz with activities from dawn to dusk, a testament to the determination of the investor to meet their construction targets on schedule.
