(Baohatinh.vn) - Industrial promotion policies have helped businesses and cooperatives expand production, participate deeply in the value chain, and create a foundation for rural industrial development.

Support for rural industry

In 2022, when Ha Tinh had just overcome the difficult period due to the COVID-19 pandemic, An Phat Science and Technology Company Limited (Viet Tien commune) received 1 billion VND in support from the National Industrial Promotion Program of the Ministry of Industry and Trade to invest in machinery, equipment, and build a demonstration model for production and processing techniques for product lines from herbal rice materials. Up to now, the company has shifted from small-scale to industrial production, bringing products to many supermarket systems and retail chains across the country.

In 2024, from local industrial promotion sources, Phu Sang Seafood Processing Service Cooperative (Thien Cam commune) was supported with 300 million VND to help the unit invest more deeply in production, expand more business areas for more sustainable development.

Industrial promotion support is one of the driving forces for An Phat Science and Technology Company Limited (Viet Tien commune) to expand investment and develop production.

According to the Center for Industrial Promotion and Trade Promotion (Department of Industry and Trade), in the period of 2021 - 2025, there will be 56 industrial promotion tasks/projects implemented with a total support budget of more than 7.6 billion VND, of which, national industrial promotion supports 2 projects with a total budget of 1,450 billion VND and local industrial promotion supports 54 projects with a total budget of nearly 6.2 billion VND.
Accordingly, the whole province has 25 rural industrial establishments that directly benefit and have greater efficiency. The industrial promotion policy source has activated 40,292 billion VND from the counterpart capital of the establishments to invest in machinery and equipment, promoting rural industrial development. In 2025 alone, the local industrial promotion source has approved the budget allocation of 1.8 billion VND in the estimate. The Department of Industry and Trade and the Center for Industrial Promotion and Trade Promotion are completing the documents and providing financial support for establishments that achieve the approved plan.

Thang Thinh Construction and Trade Company Limited (village 10, Cam Xuyen commune) invested in 2 new machines with a total value of more than 6 billion VND to serve steel construction with modern techniques.

Thang Thinh Construction and Trading Company Limited (village 10, Cam Xuyen commune) has 5 years of experience in the field of manufacturing and trading iron and steel of all kinds. From being a unit mainly constructing civil works, the company has boldly invested in applying science and technology, investing in machinery to further enter the manufacturing industry which has a lot of room for development. In particular, with the support of the Center for Industrial Promotion and Trade Promotion, the company has been able to access and complete the documents to enjoy local industrial promotion support in 2025 with a budget of 300 million VND.



The company is determined to take the lead in technology, invest in machinery and equipment to strongly develop production and participate more deeply in the supply chain.

Mr. Nguyen Thua Dong - Director of the company said: "With the encouragement and support from the policy, although the funding source is not much, it is really a "push" for businesses to boldly invest in expanding production, creating a more solid position in the market. To serve the construction of high-tech iron and steel, the company has invested in 2 more machines: laser metal cutting machine and CNC hydraulic press with a total amount of more than 6 billion VND. The company is the first unit in the province to invest in these equipment, ensuring the construction of difficult details, technical requirements, high precision, thereby improving product quality. The machine also reduces labor, construction time compared to before by about 3 times".

The new motivation has helped the company achieve initial successes, expand the market to the provinces, participate in many large projects such as: construction of Xuan Khiem Expressway Rest Stop, Quang Tri - Ha Tinh ; Electronic shooting range training house and warehouse belonging to the project of building working facilities and barracks of the Mobile Police Department of Quang Tri Provincial Police...

Elevating traditional products

Phu Khuong Seafood Purchasing and Processing Cooperative (Ky Xuan commune) has stood firm in the market with its traditional anchovy fish sauce products.

After many years of affirming its brand, Phu Khuong Seafood Purchasing and Processing Cooperative (Ky Xuan Commune) has stood firmly in the market with its traditional anchovy fish sauce products. The journey of transforming from a production household to a cooperative with a scale, production method, and professional brand building has always been accompanied and supported by agricultural development and industrial promotion policies. In particular, the annual vote for typical rural industrial products has helped the cooperative firmly conquer the title of typical rural industrial products at the national level for two consecutive times (2023 and 2025).

By 2025, the Cooperative will have 1 product recognized as a typical national rural industrial product and is continuing to build a 5-star OCOP product at the provincial level, aiming for export.

Ms. Le Thi Khuong - Director of the Cooperative said: "Each time we participate in the program to vote for the province's typical rural agricultural products, we reinvest in production once again, so that the product quality must be higher, the labels and brands must be more meticulous, the products must best meet consumer tastes. This has helped us to be meticulous in each stage of production, further upgrading the process to move towards industrial production for traditional fish sauce products. Currently, on average, each month, the Cooperative produces about 20,000 liters of fish sauce to supply the market. In 2025, the Cooperative will have 1 product (out of 2/6 products of the whole province) recognized as a typical rural industrial product at the national level, continuing to build a 5-star OCOP product at the provincial level and aiming to link with domestic enterprises to participate in export".

From 2021 to present, the Department of Industry and Trade has organized 7 votes for typical rural industrial products at the provincial level. Through the vote, 203 products were recognized as typical rural industrial products at the provincial level, 58 products were recognized as typical rural industrial products in the region and 31 products were recognized as typical rural industrial products at the national level.

This program has increasingly affirmed its reputation, professionalism and widespread influence in the business community, cooperatives and rural industrial production establishments.

In 2025, the whole province had 68 product profiles of 51 rural industrial establishments in the province participating in the voting, of which 34 new products participated for the first time, accounting for 50% of the total profiles. Through voting, 38 products/product sets achieved 70 points or more.

According to the jury's assessment, this year, the quality of participating products has been significantly improved, reflected in the creativity in design, packaging, production process, application of science and technology, especially the ability to meet the needs of the domestic and export markets. In addition, the scope and participants have expanded, instead of the traditional fields as in the early years, now there is the participation of many new fields such as: mechanics, food processing, pharmaceuticals... creating a rich and diverse picture of rural industry.

Along with industrial promotion support programs, the Department of Industry and Trade also focuses on training and propaganda to improve the capacity of enterprises, cooperatives, and production establishments, serving as a "support" for the increasingly developing rural industry.
