Enterprises also needs to improve their management capacity, production lines, product quality and competitive capacity while upholding the advantages of traditional craft villages in association with the development of small and medium-sized rural industrial sectors.
The most practical measures to raise the province’s effectiveness of industrial promotion are to step by step make the socialization of industrial promotion, mobilize all sources in and out of the province to get involved in industrial manufacture and industrial promotion services in the rural region. Industrial promotion is mainly for key fields and areas, contributing to the shift of the local economic structure and hunger eradication-poverty reduction.
