The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee also said that, despite the convergence of many favorable factors, the economic growth rate of the district is not commensurate with the potential and advantages of the district, showing signs of lagging behind in some areas compared to localities with similar conditions. Besides, land management still has many limitations, land revenue still accounts for a large proportion, and many complicated cases have not been completely resolved.

STRONGLY EXPLOIT MARINE ECONOMY AND SERVICES

The key task in the coming time, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Duc Trung requested Quynh LuuIt is necessary to focus and make efforts to implement the goals, tasks and solutions set out in the Resolution of the 28th District Party Congress, especially the groups of breakthrough solutions and 4 key programs. At the same time, closely follow the direction in the Resolution of the 19th Provincial Party Congress, which determined: "Rapidly develop the Hoang Mai - Quynh Luu region in association with the South Thanh Hoa - North Nghe An region to become a dynamic economic region".

To achieve this goal, the head of the Provincial People's Committee requested Quynh Luu district to focus on completing and organizing the implementation of plans, placed in the overall planning of Nghe An province for the period 2021 - 2030, with a vision to 2050. In particular, pay attention to district planning; urban planning; land use planning with the view that land is a resource for development, not a source of revenue for the budget, effectively using land resources, reserving land funds for investment in expanding industrial parks, towards industrial parks, tourist areas, and urban areas.

In addition, the district needs to pay attention to attracting investment with the view of turning advantages into driving forces with its location close to Nghi Son Economic Zone (Thanh Hoa), Hoang Mai 1 Industrial Park, Hoang Mai 2. The district needs to select areas of strength such as ancillary activities, service activities, clean agricultural products. In particular, it is necessary to speed up site clearance work to create clean land funds for projects such as coastal road projects; focus on disbursing public investment capital.

The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee also said that although the district is promoting the increase of the proportion of construction industry, it must be affirmed that Quynh Luu is still an agricultural district. Therefore, the district needs to focus on shifting the agricultural economic structure towards modernization, applying high technology, producing goods on a larger scale, with higher quality and value. In 2021, the district must be determined to reach the NTM target.

“Quynh Luu needs to focus strongly on the eastern region for marine economic development because this is an advantage that has not been fully exploited by the district. Although the exploitation, processing and aquaculture sectors in the district have achieved good results, the development of marine services, marine occupations and tourism has not been fully exploited. The district needs to review and rearrange the land fund previously allocated to enterprises and business establishments. And it must be consistent with the viewpoint of attracting investment but not affecting people's lives too much."
