(HBO) - Bui Van Tinh, member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee, on February 21 made a field trip to Son Thuy JSC in Dan Hoa commune, Ky Son district. He was accompanied by Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Bui Van Khanh.

Son Thuy JSC was put into operation in 2006. Last year, the company earned 450 billion VND and created stable jobs for 150 labourers, each with average monthly income of 5.5-7 million VND. Over the past two years, Son Thuy has taken the lead in State budget contribution, with 20 billion VND each year, accounting for about one third of Ky Son’s budget.

Tinh urged the company to make greater efforts in order to complete its production-business plan, implement policies towards labourers and pay more attention to firefighting as well as safety and hygiene at workplace.

Son Thuy should expand its production to diversify products and increase exports, he said.

The official said agencies and localities should identify forestry as the province’s strength. Of note, acacia trees have initially brought about socio-economic outcomes and contributed to changing locals’ mindset in forest-based economic development as well as protecting natural, protective and special-use forests. Therefore, it is necessary to better the forestation work.

The provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development needs to study new plant varieties with high economic values to gradually replace acacia trees, and take measures to supervise forestry product consumption, ensuring rights and interests of producers.

Tinh also urged the department to propose solutions to produce and process timber with HDF technology, meeting demands for domestic consumption and exports.

The provincial tax and customs departments were asked to create favourable conditions for Son Thuy JSC to generate jobs and raise income for labourers and contribute to the State budget.

The official requested Ky Son district to help the company establish a Party cell and maintain the operation of its mass organisations./.
