Finding solutions to improve the effectiveness of industrial promotion work in the Southern region. Binh Duong industrial promotion provides great support to small and medium enterprises. |
Currently, agriculture and aquaculture are popular in the province. Phu Yen Lotus seeds, macadamia nuts, oranges, pineapples, and seafood are mostly grown according to current quality standards. However, processed products from these agricultural products are still simple and not diverse such as: frozen, dried, or semi-raw... so the price is low and the preservation time is not long.
Based on the above reality, in order to contribute to expanding production scale, creating a variety of high-quality products that meet high standards, helping to increase competitiveness in the market, enhance reputation with customers and bring economic efficiency, Phu Yen Center for Industrial Promotion, Trade Promotion and Energy Saving (Center) has developed a project "Supporting the application of advanced machinery and equipment in processing agricultural and aquatic products". Beneficiaries are business households in the area such as: Song Cau seafood business household; Thi Nga business household; Pham Thi Bich Thuy business household. The project has a total implementation cost of VND 899.780.000, of which the local industrial promotion fund in 2024 supports VND 286.000.000; counterpart fund is VND 613.780.000.

According to Mr. Nguyen Tran Hieu - Owner of Song Cau Seafood Business Household (Song Cau town), previously production followed the old process, simple machinery, capacity of about 40 tons of products/year, with 6 workers participating in production, uneven quality, undiversified products, low productivity, unable to meet large orders.
But since applying the "Horizontal spice mixer; fish cake fermentation cabinet; conveyor fish cake frying machine; automatic fish cake forming machine" into production, it has helped increase the capacity to about 100 tons of products/year, the number of workers has been reduced to 4 workers, saving a part of the cost of hiring workers, uniform quality, increasing product preservation time, increasing the ability to meet large orders.
In particular, for Thi Nga Business Household, a rural industrial facility located in Song Hinh district - an area with particularly difficult socio-economic conditions. After receiving support from local industrial promotion funds in 2024, the business household boldly invested in a "Food Dryer" to process products from Macadamia nuts.
Ms. Be Thi Nga - Owner of Thi Nga Business Household - said that the application of advanced machinery and equipment in production has helped the business household increase production capacity to about 100 tons of products/year, consistent quality, increase product preservation time, high productivity to meet larger orders, and have more advantages in competing with other competitors.
Along with that, Pham Thi Bich Thuy Business Household (Dong Hoa town) has invested in applying "Frying/blanching/boiling machine; vacuum frying machine; air compressor; centrifuge" in processing lotus products. This advanced equipment helps the business household achieve an average capacity of 150 tons of products/year, the products ensure food hygiene and safety, and have their own unique flavor.
Regarding the effectiveness of the project, Mr. Le Thanh Khanh - Director of Phu Yen Center for Industrial Promotion, Trade Promotion and Energy Saving - shared that after the project "Supporting the application of advanced machinery and equipment in processing agricultural and aquatic products" came into operation, it contributed to diversifying products for rural industrial establishments in Song Cau town, Song Hinh district and Dong Hoa town. Thereby promoting the brand and enhancing the competitiveness of products in the market, contributing to socio-economic development, creating jobs for idle workers, increasing income, contributing to hunger eradication and poverty reduction, and increasing local budget revenue.
In 2024, the total local industrial promotion budget is 810 million VND. Phu Yen Department of Industry and Trade has approved the plan to use the industrial promotion budget in 2024 (Phase 1 and Phase 2), the approved budget is 684 million VND. Up to now, the implementation has completed 84,8% of the approved plan. The Center strives to complete the 2024 industrial promotion plan assigned from the beginning of the year.
