Which industries does Quang Tri prioritize for development in 2025?

According to a report from the Department of Industry and Trade of Quang Tri, by 2025, the locality aims to restructure key industries in the direction of shifting from resource- and labor-intensive industries to capital- and technology-intensive industries, green industries; from low value-added stages to high value-added stages in the global and regional value chain.

Prioritize investment in developing a number of industries and fields with potential and outstanding advantages to create breakthroughs, including: Energy industry; agricultural, forestry and fishery processing industry (especially wood processing industry); silicate industry; garment industry.

Step by step improve and innovate technology of existing facilities to enhance capacity, efficiency and competitiveness, ensuring the development of modern and sustainable industry. Continue to focus on infrastructure investment and attracting investment in economic zones, industrial parks and clusters.

To achieve the above goal, the Department of Industry and Trade of Quang Tri also developed a plan for implementation solutions. In particular, the province will resolutely, synchronously and effectively deploy solutions to ensure electricity supply for production and consumption during peak periods in 2024 and the following years.

Promote industrial development based on the exploitation and promotion of advantageous industries such as: energy industry, agricultural - forestry - fishery processing industry, supporting industry, silicate industry, textile industry, etc.; production of high-grade construction materials, mineral exploitation and processing industry.

Improve quality and competitiveness, increase high-tech content to participate in the global value chain in a number of key products and fields. Promote the attraction of large industrial investment projects and advanced technology to create momentum for the development of the province's industries. Call for investment in planned renewable energy projects. Promote investment attraction and implementation of driving projects in the Southeast Quang Tri Economic Zone and economic zones, industrial parks, and industrial clusters.

Focus on investment, technological innovation, digital transformation in the province's key industries. Encourage investment in new industrial projects, modern technology and equipment. Increase the application of advanced technology to produce products that meet export standards, especially in the fields of agricultural, forestry and fishery processing; mineral exploitation and processing; production of construction materials, especially new materials, high-quality materials... Invest in building waste and wastewater treatment systems in economic zones, industrial parks, and industrial clusters.

Also according to a report from the Department of Industry and Trade of Quang Tri, the locality is making efforts to speed up the implementation of program activities to achieve an estimated industrial production index increase of 7.5% in 2024.

In the first half of 2024, the province's industrial production index is estimated to increase by 2.86% over the same period last year. Although still positive growth, this figure is lower than the proposed scenario. Production and business activities face many difficulties, especially the processing and manufacturing industry.

Some industrial production sectors (MDF wood panel production, construction materials production, tire production...) recovered slowly, production output did not meet the set plan, due to difficulties in consuming factory products, high inventory, lack of export orders and low domestic demand.

Low additional capacity for industrial production is the reason why many industrial production investment projects are slow to complete and put into operation according to the proposed investment schedule.
