Regarding the local industry promotion plan, the provincial People’s Committee allocated the department VND5.5 billion. To date, the department has coordinated with the provincial Department of Finance to appraise (phase 1) 10 projects for approval with a total funding of VND1.239 billion, accounting for 22.53 percent, mainly in areas such as organizing training, forums, start-ups, fairs and exhibitions; voting outstanding rural industrial products, and more.

According to the leaders of Nghe An provincial Department of Industry and Trade, industry promotion is one of the province’s priorities to support rural industrial production establishments to develop production, contributing to the local economic development as well as social security.

Over the past years, industrial promotion policies advised by the department have supported the local rural industrial enterprises in innovating technology, machinery and equipment to improve productivity to keep pace with the new contexts and well implement set targets.

To keep promoting the efficiency of this work, in the coming time, the provincial Department of Industry and Trade will strengthen inspections of the implementation of national and local industry promotion projects, promptly remove emerging problems during the implementation of those projects; promote the dissemination of industry promotion policies to industrial production facilities and craft villages; proactively coordinate with relevant sectors and organizations to implement effectively industry promotion projects in the province; continue to improve the capability of local industry promotion to meet the requirements of industrial development tasks in the new context.
