Lam Dong deploys industrial promotion activities throughout communes and districts

At the 13th Conference on Industrial Promotion of Provinces and Cities in the Central Highlands - Central Region in 2023, Ms. Cao Thi Thanh - Deputy Director of the Department of Industry and Trade of Lam Dong province said that the outstanding feature of Lam Dong's current industrial promotion policy is to focus on supporting sectors oriented towards the production of new products, products with high scientific and technological content, deeply processed products, and key agricultural products of the province. From there, a chain of cooperation links is formed through the form of support with cost recovery to preserve the province's budget capital.

Currently, industrial promotion activities have been widely deployed throughout communes and districts; the disbursement results of local industrial promotion funds in 2022 reached 100% of the project plan and 99% of the budget plan, demonstrating the effectiveness and spread to businesses; propaganda work, raising awareness of businesses to access industrial promotion capital sources are in-depth and practical; promoting the role of seed capital, encouraging rural industrial establishments to invest in expanding production, improving productivity and product quality.

The Deputy Director of the Department of Industry and Trade of Lam Dong province said that the program has really attracted the attention of beneficiaries, especially small-scale establishments in economically disadvantaged areas such as Dam Rong and Cat Tien districts.

In addition, Lam Dong province pays special attention to promoting the expansion of product consumption markets. In 2 years (2022 - 2023), funds will be allocated to industrial production establishments to conduct trade surveys to expand product consumption markets in some provinces in the Southeast region, the Mekong Delta, and some provinces in the Central and Northern regions.

However, Ms. Cao Thi Thanh said that in recent years, the support of the industrial promotion program for enterprises has encountered many difficulties such as: The support level from the industrial promotion program is low compared to the agricultural and science and technology sectors; the content and support objects overlap; many enterprises operate at a standstill, do not expand investment because there are no orders...

"Therefore, in the coming time, we will continue to coordinate with agencies to strengthen propaganda and dissemination of industrial promotion policies on many mass media with diverse and rich methods, thereby creating a "fulcrum" for businesses," said Ms. Cao Thi Thanh.
