Nghe An: Bustling production atmosphere at the beginning of the year
(Baonghean) - At the beginning of this new spring, in factories, enterprises, and construction sites of projects... in Nghe An, labor and production have entered a rhythm, striving to achieve results right from the first quarter, creating the premise to successfully complete the year's plan.
From the factory...
Going back to work right after the traditional Tet holiday - that is the tradition of many factories and businesses, because completing orders, ensuring salaries and wages for workers, both to retain workers and to ensure the rapid consumption of raw materials for farmers in the new planting season... are vital requirements of production and business activities.
At Hoa Sen Nghe An Factory, there is no break during Tet, according to Mr. Pham Tien Phuong - Deputy Director of the factory: If there is a break, the machine will take a lot of time to restart, each month the factory only produces 28,000 tons, if it stops, each day it will lose 600 tons of products, while the products are not enough to supply the market.

To ensure the regime for workers during Tet, each person is given an additional allowance of 500,000 VND. The salary is still 3 times higher than the normal month, and the factory has to arrange for 3 production lines with over 200 people. Last year, production and business began to stabilize at the factory, thus creating conditions for the average salary income of 800 workers of over 5 million VND/person/month.

NASU Sugarcane Company Limited (Quy Hop) started operating on the 5th day of Tet. Since the beginning of the season, the company has pressed more than 400,000 tons of sugarcane, with sugar output reaching 100 million VND/day. According to Mr. Ngo Van Tu - Deputy General Director of the company, the price of sugarcane that NASU is paying to farmers in the field is 980,000 VND/ton. Not to mention the factory's bonus and sugar content adjustment; in the 300,000 tons of sugarcane imported to the factory, the factory has already deducted 6.7 billion VND in bonuses. So in terms of production efficiency, it will not be high, but there is a joy in this year's pressing season: the factory has produced excess electricity and sold it to the national grid with 4-5MW/day, earning 100 million VND in electricity bills/day; thanks to one day the factory produced 10MW from bagasse and only used up 6 MW.
As for Song Con Sugar Factory, production resumed on the 6th day of Tet. In January 2017, the factory pressed 67,000 tons of sugarcane, yielding 71,000 tons of sugar. Last year, the factory pressed 394,000 tons of sugarcane, producing 37,000 tons of sugar. In the 2017 pressing season, the factory strives to press 350,000 tons of sugarcane. Thanks to efficient production, during the last Tet, with its efforts, the factory was able to provide enough salary and income for more than 300 workers...
