The Minister of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs and the working delegation inspected production and business activities at Minh Anh - Kim Lien Garment Joint Stock Company, located in Bac Vinh Industrial Park (Vinh City).

This is one of three garment factories invested by Minh Anh Group in Nghe An province. The company currently creates jobs for about 2,500 workers, with an average income per capita of about 6.5 million VND/month.

Minh Anh Group's leaders said that by the end of the first quarter of 2023, the factory had produced about 2.5 million products with an export turnover of about 13 million USD.

This year, the factory's orders have decreased due to the global economic recession and the shift to lower-cost countries such as Bangladesh, Indonesia, India, and Central and South America. Unit prices have decreased by 10% - 25% compared to before. In addition, fluctuations in labor resources have more or less affected the company's operations.
