Of which: Processing and manufacturing industry increased by 16.3%; production and distribution of electricity, gas, hot water, steam and air conditioning increased by 18.81%; water supply, wastewater and waste management and treatment increased by 12.72%; mining industry decreased by 2.07%.

Of the 36 main industrial products, 30 products achieved and exceeded the plan, some products increased compared to 2017 and exceeded the plan, including: processed milk of all kinds 210 million liters, up 26.42%; cement 4.45 million tons, up 70.84%; Hoa Sen steel and corrugated iron products of all kinds 735 thousand tons, up 127%; electricity production is estimated at 3,350 million kWh, up 35%; ready-made clothes are estimated at 27-28 million products, up 22.72%,...

Some products have not reached the plan due to many difficulties in the consumption market or the impact of the weather,... including: Beer of all kinds is estimated at 193 million liters/plan of 200 million liters; packaging reached 50 million products, down 11.71% compared to 2017, reaching 62.5% of the plan; fertilizer reached 65,000 tons, down 34.35%; tin is estimated at 300 tons/plan of 700 tons, down 17.58% compared to 2017 and only reaching 42.85% of the plan; animal feed increased compared to 2017, but only reached 60% of the plan. However, these products account for a small proportion in the structure of total industrial production value and are offset by products exceeding the plan, so they do not affect the growth target of the whole industry.

In 2019, Nghe An Industry and Trade strives to achieve and exceed planned targets, industrial production value reaches 68,000 - 69,000 billion VND, growth rate over 19%.
