On the afternoon of November 30, Mr. Nghiem Xuan Cuong, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee attended the Business Coffee program in November 2024 with the theme of removing difficulties for businesses in terms of production materials and landfill materials, organized by the Quang Ninh Provincial Business Association in Dong Trieu city.
In an open and frank spirit, representatives of construction material manufacturing enterprises and contractors expressed many opinions, reflecting on difficulties in production materials and site clearance materials. Typically: Currently, in the province, there are 29 construction material manufacturing companies (bricks, tiles, burnt clay), using over 1 million cubic meters of clay and waste slag and slag materials every year; however, up to 70% of companies and factories do not have clay mines and have to buy raw materials from other localities, leading to high costs due to long-distance transportation, increasing input costs and reducing the competitiveness of enterprises. Some factories are at risk of closing due to lack of raw materials for production.
In addition, businesses need to renovate and level the ground but lack of filling materials. Some projects such as the road connecting Ha Long - Hai Phong highway to Dong Trieu city (riverside road), facing difficulties in the supply of filling materials, which could greatly affect the construction progress. Meanwhile, excess waste soil from river excavation, canal improvement, and bridge foundations is facing difficulties in dumping sites...
The leader of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment said that recently, the Department has actively coordinated with departments, branches and sectors to advise on the development of a new draft Resolution, replacing Resolution 16-NQ/TU dated May 9, 2019 of the Provincial Party Committee on strengthening the Party's leadership in the management of coal and mineral resources in the province. In particular, there are many new points to help overcome and remove current subjective and objective difficulties and obstacles regarding landfill materials. In October 2024, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment also submitted a report to the Provincial People's Committee for appraisal and approval of the plan to auction the right to exploit a number of clay mines, including Trang An clay mine (Dong Trieu city) to serve the needs of businesses in the area. Notably, according to the Law on Geology and Minerals recently passed by the National Assembly, effective from July 1, 2025, the authority to grant licenses for mining waste rock will be decentralized to localities. Thereby, creating a strong driving force for the development of circular economy that Quang Ninh province has been implementing in recent years.
Speaking at the program, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nghiem Xuan Cuong affirmed: With the viewpoint that only when enterprises develop will the province develop; social security, life, and employment of people and workers will be ensured... The Party Committees and authorities at all levels of the province always pay special attention and accompany enterprises. He requested the leaders of departments, branches, and localities to continue to study and advise the leaders of the Provincial People's Committee to resolve the recommendations as soon as possible, provide the best support for enterprises to overcome difficulties, and contribute to the socio-economic development goals of the province in the coming time.
