Nghe An strengthens solutions to promote industrial growth
In 2024, in the face of many fluctuations in the world economy, the steering committee for industrial growth in Nghe An grasped the operating situation of industrial production establishments, removed difficulties, and contributed to the increased new production capacity of the industry.
Positive industrial changes
Despite facing many difficulties, industrial production has changed positively, businesses have gradually recovered, promoted reproduction, expanded business scale, and contributed to the province's economic growth.

Tourism activities have developed again. In addition, inflationary pressure and spending cuts have led to low prices, which is an opportunity for local beers to compete with imported beers and high-end beers, estimated at 185 million liters, up 105% over the same period and reaching 70.27% of the 2024 plan. TH Truemilk and Vinamilk factories have both maintained their consumption markets well and made good use of newly expanded production lines, so in the first 9 months of the year, they reached 260 million liters, up 55.04% over the same period, reaching 74.29% of the 2024 plan.
World sugar prices increased, sugar supply from India and Thailand decreased sharply, sugarcane productivity increased and sugarcane raw material area was kept stable, so the estimated output in 9 months reached 101,176 tons, an increase of 19.84%.

Assessing the complicated developments of the world political and economic situation; global economic growth, trade and investment continue to decline; demand in Vietnam's large and traditional import and export markets continues to decline... affecting investment, production and business activities of enterprises and people's lives. Therefore, the Government and ministries, branches, Provincial Party Committee, Provincial People's Committee and branches at all levels are interested in supporting enterprises with a high sense of responsibility right from the first days and months of 2024, promoting administrative reform, improving the business environment, focusing on removing difficulties and obstacles of enterprises and investors... creating favorable conditions for enterprises to produce and do business smoothly.
Ms. Tran Thi My Ha - Head of Industrial Management Department, Department of Industry and Trade said: In addition to the achieved results, there are still many difficulties, enterprises and investors need to be supported to resolve issues related to land use planning; compensation and site clearance; difficulties in mechanisms, overlapping regulations; difficulties in investment procedures; some projects are behind schedule... Department of Industry and Trade - the Standing agency of the Steering Committee for Industrial Growth of the province has organized meetings with enterprises and localities such as: Hoang Mai, Quynh Luu, Nghia Dan, Thai Hoa, Quy Hop, Que Phong, Dien Chau, Yen Thanh, Tan Ky, Do Luong, Nghi Loc and enterprises in VSIP Nghe An Industrial Park, WHA Zone 1 Industrial Park... to grasp the operation situation of industrial production facilities, management of industrial clusters and difficulties and obstacles that need to be resolved.

Direct sectors, units and localities to focus on developing raw material areas to ensure stable input for sugar processing factories, wood processing factories, tea processing factories, milk processing factories, canned fish processing factories, etc. Encourage investment in building warehouse systems, logistics service infrastructure and credit support to meet the needs of the processing industry.

Support businesses to invest in purchasing equipment and innovating technology to improve production capacity through industrial promotion policies; policies to support small and medium-sized enterprises; policies to support organizations and individuals to invest, innovate technology, and apply scientific and technological advances in the province. Promote the development of supporting industries to participate more deeply in the value chain. Strengthen support for startups, prioritize credit capital loans for small and medium-sized enterprises and industrial production facilities.
In addition to the above solutions, it is necessary to mobilize commercial banks in the area to immediately implement plans to reduce interest rates or provide interest-free loans for the amounts that businesses use to pay workers' salaries. Support electronics, textile, and footwear businesses in recruiting workers for projects that are about to be completed and put into operation.
