Solid Foundations for Acceleration
Early in 2025, the provincial People’s Committee assigned socio-economic targets, convened planning conferences, and issued a series of directives to clarify responsibilities across departments and districts. These moves reflect a determined push to overcome business hurdles and ignite momentum for growth.
Despite ongoing challenges - particularly those arising from the recent provincial merger and two-tier local government restructuring - Tuyen Quang has set its sights on a 9.01% GRDP growth rate, with ambitions as high as 10.05%. The industrial sector is proving pivotal to this effort.
In the first half of 2025, the province’s industrial production value reached an estimated VND 13.73 trillion (approx. USD 539 million), achieving 49.6% of the annual target and marking an 18.6% increase year-on-year. Key products like commercial electricity, steel, cement, barite powder, and writing paper have all posted strong gains, underlining the sector’s central role in driving growth.
In June alone, the Industrial Production Index (IIP) in the former Ha Giang area jumped 42.04% from May and 10.7% from a year earlier. Cumulative IIP for the first six months rose 7.93%. Mining grew 43.76% month-on-month and 14.5% year-on-year. Manufacturing climbed 9.92% year-on-year, with a six-month increase of 14.07%. Electricity and gas production was up 13.37% year-on-year and 4.22% over the same period.
Laying the Groundwork for Sustainable Growth
To maintain this momentum, Tuyen Quang is fast-tracking a series of strategic industrial projects. Infrastructure development at the Xuan Van, An Hoa - Long Binh An, and Phuc Ung 2 industrial clusters is progressing rapidly. Major ventures include: A 50MW biomass power plant by Japan’s Erex Tuyen Quang JSC, with an investment of VND 2.9 trillion (USD 114 million); the 90MW Yen Son Hydropower Plant; new factories focused on agro-forestry processing, construction materials, and high-tech textiles.
Beyond traditional industries, the province is shifting toward high-tech, environmentally friendly manufacturing aligned with global sustainability trends. Administrative reforms are also being accelerated to streamline investment procedures and clear land bottlenecks that have previously hampered project deployment.
The road ahead is not without obstacles. The number of businesses suspending operations or dissolving has risen. The pace of industrial zone and cluster development remains sluggish, and land clearance delays continue to affect project execution.
To address these issues, Tuyen Quang is prioritizing the completion of its 2025 industrial production growth target - set at over 16.7% compared to 2024. The province is focusing on speeding up infrastructure at key industrial sites like Nhu Khe, Ninh Lai, and Xuan Van; improving the investment climate, particularly for clean and renewable energy industries; attracting major projects such as wood pellet plants, the LGG3 garment factory, and the Kien Xuong Tuyen Quang footwear factory
These efforts are expected to provide a substantial boost to the province’s industrial expansion in the coming years.
With clear direction, bold actions, and strong collaboration from the business community, Tuyen Quang’s industrial sector is moving steadily toward the goal of “acceleration – breakthrough – sustainable development.” The province is positioning industry as a foundational pillar for fast and comprehensive economic growth.
