The Mekong Delta province of Kien Giang has set to earn an export value
of 526 million USD in 2015, up 5.9 percent from a year just gone.
The province expects to ship abroad agricultural products, including 700,000 tonnes of rice, for 315 million USD, and seafood for 170 million USD.
This year, it focuses on helping local exporters tackle difficulties in terms of markets, material sources, labour, capital and advanced technology.
Local authority plans to launch “Bon nha” (Four houses) programme which links businesses and farmers in Long Xuyen Quadrangle, Tay Song Hau and U Minh Thuong, which are the province’s main rice and shrimp production areas, in order to ensure stable supply for processing facilities.
The Industry and Trade Department (ITD) and relevant bodies will forecast rice output and launch the stockpile of rice harvested in the 2014 – 2015 winter-spring crop.
Firms will be supported with tax incentives and easier loan access to expand business and upgrade factories so as to increase their product quality and competitiveness.
Kien Giang will work closely with the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry to issue Certificates of Origin, save time and costs for export-import procedure clearance and train human resources based on demand of the labour market and businesses.
According to ITD Director Huynh Van Ganh, a number of major industry projects are to be operating, offering employment for local people as well as fueling export growth.
Besides, trade promotions will be held for local businesses to seek economic partnerships and new markets as well.
Cooperation programmes between the locality and Cambodia’s border provinces, Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta region will continue for higher trade growth, he added.
Export turnover of the province reached 500 million USD in 2014, fulfilling 74.1 percent of the yearly target and representing a drop of 18.3 percent from 2013.-VNA
