Yen Bai businesses "accelerate" from the beginning of the year

In the context of the uncertain global economy and increasing competitive pressure, the GRDP growth rate of Yen Bai province in the first quarter of 2025 reached 9.58%, which is a very encouraging figure. More notably, the industrial sector alone, which is the pillar of local production, achieved a growth rate of 13%, higher than the set scenario.

This is not a temporary result, but reflects the proactive "acceleration" right from the starting line of the business community in the province. Many companies and businesses have been bustling with activities right after the Lunar New Year of At Ty 2025. Many businesses have even prepared production plans since the end of last year, ready for a year of "crossing the dragon gate".

At An Tien Industries Joint Stock Company - one of the key enterprises in the plastic export industry, in the first months of the year, all production lines were operating at full capacity.

Mr. Luu Ton Toan - Production Director of An Tien Industries Joint Stock Company said: "This year may have many fluctuations, but we have calculated carefully. The production plan is from 9,000 - 10,000 tons per month, three new production lines will operate full time. An Tien does not wait for the market to stabilize before starting, but chooses to take the first step to take the lead."

That "stepping forward in adversity" mindset is also being materialized in many other businesses. At Nasaki Vietnam Color Tile Company, Ms. Nguyen Thi Khuyen - Director of the Company frankly acknowledges the challenges from the new US trade policy, but at the same time considers it a catalyst to go further.

"We are expanding to the Japanese and Korean markets, promoting green products and exploiting AI technology to optimize customer experience. Difficulties are inevitable, but a different direction will create sustainable advantages," Ms. Khuyen emphasized.

The 13% increase in the industrial sector in the first quarter not only shows that production capacity has been unlocked, but also reflects a qualitative shift in business development thinking. From only worrying about "survival", Yen Bai enterprises have now gradually shaped their strategies for expansion, innovation and global integration.

This is an inevitable step forward when the economy cannot rely solely on increasing output, but must be associated with technological innovation, improving the intellectual content of products and building national brands. Pioneering enterprises such as An Tien Industries or Nasaki are clear evidence of the strategy of in-depth development.

The key point of this breakthrough does not come from a single support policy but is the result of a relatively effective operating ecosystem: businesses dare to think and dare to do; the government promptly accompanies and resolves.

Specifically, in April 2025, the People's Committee of Yen Bai province organized a direct meeting with businesses, cooperatives and investors. Not stopping at general statements, provincial leaders and departments and branches answered and resolved difficulties regarding land procedures, loans, and support mechanisms for production and business.

Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Tuan Anh requested departments, branches, sectors and localities to continue to consistently, synchronously and stably implement preferential policies and investment support; focus and prioritize resources to develop a synchronous and modern strategic infrastructure system, such as: traffic infrastructure, industrial zones and clusters.

At the same time, continue to promote reform, simplify administrative procedures, effectively implement solutions to improve the business investment environment, ensure competitiveness; regularly grasp and promptly resolve and remove difficulties and obstacles for businesses and investors... This initiative shows that the Yen Bai provincial government is transforming from the role of "administrative management" to "creating a development environment".

This is also an inevitable requirement in the context that the whole country is implementing Directive 09/CT-TTg of the Prime Minister on promoting the role of state-owned enterprises for double-digit economic growth and sustainable development.

Positive signals from the first quarter of the year show that Yen Bai enterprises are becoming pioneers in the process of innovation, integration and development. The initiative, dynamism and open-mindedness of the business community are important driving forces contributing to the realization of the goal of rapid and sustainable growth.

The close cooperation between the State and enterprises, between the government and the people, is the factor for Yen Bai to continue to make breakthroughs and develop quickly and sustainably.
