Nghe An strives to maintain the growth momentum in exports and imports.
In the first six months of 2026, despite disruptions to global supply chains due to conflicts in the Middle East, Nghe An businesses maintained effective production and business performance thanks to their internal strength and resilience. Several export items achieved high results, contributing to the province's revenue collection targets.
FDI enterprises are experiencing strong growth.
According to information from the Customs Sub-department of Region XI, in the first six months of the year, import and export tax revenue in Nghe An province reached 1,455 billion VND, achieving 78% of the plan. In the context of continuing geopolitical conflicts affecting global supply chains, this is a welcome result.
Mr. Nguyen Van Khanh, Head of the Operations Department of the Customs Sub-Department Region XI, stated: Besides geopolitical impacts, in recent years, some imported products that previously generated revenue for the budget, such as gasoline and oil, have ceased to be imported; strong export items such as cement, fine art wood, and wood chips have seen a sharp decline, affecting import and export tax revenue.
However, amidst the difficulties, FDI enterprises have risen strongly. Certain items such as iron and steel, electronic components, textiles, and footwear have become driving forces behind export growth, thereby ensuring tax revenue for the province.
According to a report from the Department of Industry and Trade, in the first six months of the year and projected for the whole of 2026, the main driving force behind Nghe An's industrial growth is primarily large-scale FDI projects that have entered stable production and begun increasing capacity. A prime example is Luxshare Group - ITC Nghe An, whose six companies achieved nearly $1.5 billion in export value in the first six months, accounting for 45% of the province's total export value. Electronic component manufacturing has become the leading sector with its exceptional growth. In addition, several businesses have also commenced production and participated in global supply chains, such as Radiant Opto Electronics, Fuan Vietnam Technology, Fu Wing Interconnect Technology, Runergy Vietnam, and Innovation Precision.
Since the second quarter, several new projects have come online, such as Sihitek, Luxshare - ICT 2, JunHao Electronic Materials, and the colored plastic granule production plant of Vinh Nang Vietnam Co., Ltd., further increasing production capacity and contributing to shaping Nghe An into a regional center for electronic component manufacturing. In addition, the textile and footwear industries are also shifting towards higher value-added stages. Viet Fast - Yen Thanh footwear factories and the Andromeda project in Hoang Mai I Industrial Park are maintaining stable production.
Representatives of the Association of Outstanding Businesses in Nghe An Province stated: Previously, Nghe An only had a few hundred businesses participating in exports each year, and the value was small. Now, that number has increased to nearly 500 businesses, with an average export value of 400-550 million USD per month. In June 2026 alone, the export value of goods is estimated to reach 530 million USD, an increase of 30.2% compared to June 2025.
According to the Trade Management Department of the Department of Industry and Trade: In the first six months of the year, the province's total export turnover reached US$3.1518 billion, an increase of 58.4% compared to the same period in 2025 and achieving 131.3% of the six-month plan; total import turnover reached US$2.426 billion, an increase of 35.4% compared to the same period in 2025, achieving 134.8% of the six-month plan.
Prepare infrastructure and exploit additional potential.
According to the Department of Industry and Trade, in the last six months of 2026, Nghe An province will continue to see many new projects come into operation. Notable examples include projects by Yanlin Vietnam Technology Co., Ltd., Yuyuan Vietnam Packaging Technology Co., Ltd., Share Nghe An Packaging Technology Co., Ltd., the high-performance battery manufacturing plant project by Tianneng Group (Vietnam) Co., Ltd., Prussia Metal Vietnam Co., Ltd., the Kangxinchang automation project, the CNC milling and metal component manufacturing project by Zhenhuo Hong Kong Co., Ltd., the Cypress footwear processing plant, the Nakano garment project, the Mareep factory, and the All Top Industrial project producing electronic components and high-tech equipment... With large-scale investments and modern technology, these projects, once operational, will not only generate high revenue but also increase export value.
In addition, Nghe An is also removing obstacles for import and export businesses; creating a transparent legal framework, and accelerating the progress of infrastructure projects serving exports such as: dredging waterways, investing in upgrading the old Cua Lo Port; building a new Cua Lo deep-water port project in Hai Loc commune; expanding warehouse and storage area planning, creating clean land to welcome large FDI enterprises and cargo owners to lease land for business, expand production, and facilitate the flow of goods...
Mr. Nguyen Van Hiep, Head of the Trade Management Department of the Department of Industry and Trade, commented: Based on the review, Nghe An recognizes that, despite the difficulties, there is still much room and potential to accelerate import and export. FDI enterprises, after investing in factories, have begun to operate stably; many investors, after completing phase 1, have expanded their capacity by 1.5 to 2 times compared to before. With these positive signs, Nghe An strives to achieve a total export turnover of 6.3 billion USD in 2026, exceeding the planned target of 5 billion USD. Of this, revenue from import and export taxes is expected to reach approximately 2,200 billion VND, an increase of nearly 400 billion VND compared to the plan for the year.
