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 and Hoang Mai 2 Industrial Parks. The district needs to select areas of strength such as supporting activities, service activities, and 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 finish line.
“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."
At the same time, Quynh Luu district must promote its unique culture to stimulate tourism, especially promoting the human factor, paying attention to vocational training for workers, providing human resources for investors and for the agricultural sector.
The head of the provincial People's Committee also requested Quynh Luu district to promote the results of administrative reform in recent times, continue to strongly improve the investment and business environment and build a team of dedicated, professional cadres and civil servants with a sense of responsibility, high public ethics, and a spirit of serving the people and businesses.
