With the available market potential and human resources, convenient seaport infrastructure, and attractive investment attraction policies, Nghe An textile and garment industry has developed quite strongly. The province has attracted many domestic and foreign branded investors with large-scale export garment production lines.

In the first four months of the year, textile and garment export turnover increased by 15.7% over the same period. The textile and garment group continued to rank at the top of Nghe An's exports to 25 countries. According to the Department of Industry and Trade, the output of products increased slightly over the same period: Yarn is estimated at 4,676 tons, up 3.06%; Knitted products are estimated at 4.1 million products, up 6%; Exported garments are estimated at 7.7 million products, up 7%.

Currently, a number of garment projects continue to invest in new projects and expand production lines. It is expected that in the last 6 months of the year, there will be a breakthrough in high growth when these projects come into production, contributing to the growth rate of the whole industry.

According to Director of the Department of Industry and Trade Hoang Van Tam, the projects are still in the process of completion, so the contribution of new added value is not significant. Therefore, enterprises and the Industry and Trade sector are focusing on accelerating the progress of investment projects to put them into operation soon to produce products; at the same time, the sector has a practical support program in promoting and expanding sales channels to increase product consumption.
