Developing key industrial products in Anh Son

NEW PRODUCT MARK

One of the key objectives in Anh Son is to support and create the most favorable conditions for investors when implementing projects in the district. Along with applying preferential mechanisms and policies to attract investment, the district works alongside businesses in supporting investment procedures, facilitating land acquisition and clearance, and especially, the district leaders regularly pay attention to and promptly resolve any issues and obstacles arising during project implementation… As a result, investors feel secure and confident in implementing projects on schedule and achieving effective results.

Implementing the Commercial Concrete Batching Plant Project in Hoa Son commune during the Covid-19 pandemic presented numerous challenges for the investor, Truong An Co., Ltd. However, with a determination to ensure the project's progress as committed to the district, the company focused its capital on the project, and after a short period, the 120 m3/h capacity concrete batching plant was completed and put into operation in early 2021.

Mr. Tran Duc Danh, the company's director, stated: "As one of the businesses in the construction materials, ready-mix concrete production, and steel trading sectors in Do Luong district, after learning about Anh Son district's investment attraction policies, our company decided to implement the project in the area. Throughout the project implementation and during production and business operations, the company has always received timely attention and support from relevant departments and agencies in the district. Thanks to this, the project was completed on schedule and operates effectively, especially during the strict implementation of regulations on COVID-19 prevention and control."

Comrade Nguyen Huu Sang – Member of the Provincial Party Committee, Secretary of the District Party Committee, and Chairman of the Anh Son District People's Council – inspected investment projects in the district.

After completing the ready-mix concrete plant project, Truong An Co., Ltd. continued to invest in 10 specialized construction vehicles to promptly meet the construction needs in Anh Son district and surrounding areas. Having started production in early 2021, the company has supplied the market with over 40,000 m³ of ready-mix concrete and created stable jobs for 30 workers, fulfilling all obligations to the State budget. The new ready-mix concrete product has made a significant mark in the development of key industrial products in Anh Son district (achieving 190% of the annual plan), contributing to the district's affirmation of appropriate policies and approaches during the difficult period of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Along with ready-mix concrete, in 2021, Anh Son district also "unveiled" another impressive new product: liquid glucose. This is the result of a great effort from Hoa Son Asia Joint Stock Company in boldly investing in product diversification at the Hoa Son cassava starch factory.

To produce this product, Hoa Son Asia Joint Stock Company built phase 2 at the Hoa Son cassava starch factory with a total investment of 15 million USD. After a period of intensive construction, along with the attention and support from the leaders of Anh Son district, the project went into operation in early 2021. This project features modern liquid glucose production technology, achieving high quality and meeting the most stringent requirements of customers in the food processing, dairy, and confectionery industries.

Despite starting production during the Covid-19 pandemic, thanks to effective market development and brand building, the unit still secured many large contracts for the production of liquid glucose for customers nationwide. Notably, in the first 11 months of 2021, production reached 11,700 tons, and is expected to reach 13,500 tons this year. This result is practical evidence of the dynamism and diversification of key industrial products in Anh Son district.

EFFORTS TO OVERCOME DIFFICULTIES

With its abundant and diverse natural resources, large reserves, and a high-quality workforce with vocational training, coupled with a favorable investment attraction policy, Anh Son has become a bright spot in attracting investment. Building on this solid foundation, many investment projects have been completed and are operating effectively, creating many key industrial products for the district. A prime example is cement, with significant investment in the Song Lam 2 Cement Plant by The Vissai Group. Cement produced in Anh Son district is now used in construction projects nationwide. In 2021, the plant is expected to achieve a production output of 480,000 tons, operating efficiently and creating jobs for many local workers.

Facing intense competition in the sugar cane production market, Song Lam Sugar Cane Joint Stock Company has focused on developing large-scale raw material areas, increasing the value of sugar cane, and achieving increasingly higher yields to ensure stable sugar production. In 2021, production reached 4,000 tons of sugar. Simultaneously, the company invested in building a high-quality tea processing plant, meeting export standards, diversifying its product range, and making a significant contribution alongside other tea processing businesses in the area to effectively utilize the Anh Son tea growing region and build a renowned tea brand in Nghe An. The projected processing output for 2021 is 3,778 tons of tea.

To stimulate the development of new products and key industrial products in Anh Son district, the district will continue to accelerate the progress of approved investment projects in the coming period, aiming to create new products. At the same time, it will actively and proactively coordinate with relevant departments and agencies to complete investment procedures for projects currently undergoing investment procedures; creating the most favorable conditions for businesses, organizations, and individuals to develop their business sectors, prioritizing key products such as cement, cassava starch, liquid glucose, white sugar, tea leaves, ready-mix concrete, leather shoes, garments, and export tea...

The stable and sustainable development of key industrial products in Anh Son district has been making a significant contribution to the district's total annual industrial production value. In 2021, the total industrial production value is expected to reach nearly 2,363 billion VND (an increase of 13.6% compared to the same period). This remarkable result demonstrates the strong development of Anh Son's industrial production sector during the challenging period of the Covid-19 pandemic.
