The proportion of industry in the period 2011-2016 grew quite well and in the right direction, increasing from 10.71% to 15.74%. The structure of the industry has changed towards increasing the proportion of industries with potential and advantages of the province such as hydropower industry, beverage production (beer, milk), forest product processing (MDF wood), mineral exploitation and processing, etc. Many industrial products (electricity production, wheat flour, garment products for export, fibers of all kinds, cement, unburnt bricks, etc.) achieved and exceeded the targets set out in the Resolution.
Nghe An has attracted industrial development projects, including many large-scale projects with fast investment progress and attracting a lot of labor. In particular, it has attracted projects from corporations with strong brands to invest in the construction of technical infrastructure projects (VSIP Industrial Park - Urban - Service Infrastructure Construction Project, Hemaraj Urban Industrial Park, seaport construction investment projects,...).

However, speaking at the meeting, delegates also said that the Resolution only stopped at the sectors and district levels, and has not reached the wards, communes, enterprises and industrial production facilities. The growth in industrial production value has not yet reached the target set by the Resolution. Some programs and fields have been slow to change, new investment capacity has not been available or is insignificant. Raw material areas, productivity of seedlings (sugarcane, tea, pineapple, rubber,... buffalo, cows, especially dairy cows) have not met the needs of developing the agricultural, forestry and livestock processing industry.
