Lao Cai: Industrial production in the first 4 months of the year decreased compared to the same period

The reason is that at the beginning of the year, some units stopped production to repair and maintain machinery and equipment, and fertilizer and chemical production units lacked input materials, so they maintained operations at 50% - 70% capacity.

Copper production units maintain continuous production.

However, in April 2025, production and business activities of industrial production units and establishments in the province remained continuous and increased by 6.3% compared to March 2025.

Hydroelectric plants in the area increase electricity generation output.

Statistics show that the industrial and handicraft production value in the first 4 months of 2025 of Lao Cai province reached 13,350 billion VND, equal to 22.25% of the annual plan, equal to 99.08% compared to the same period in 2024.

Fertilizer production ensures supply and serves crop production.

Projects for mining, selecting apatite ore, copper smelting, phosphorus, sulfuric acid, and phosphoric acid production operated stably, with increased production and consumption. In addition, electricity generation and commercial electricity output also increased slightly, due to the beginning of the rainy season, with favorable weather conditions for hydropower plants to increase their power generation capacity.

The power supply system ensures safety, continuity and stability for production and daily life in all areas of the province.
