As the district has no industrial parks, to bolster development of the sector,
local authorities focus on the transport system to facilitate transportation
and trade; step up administrative reforms; and offer consultations for new
business registration.
They also rolled out incentives to support firms and household businesses in
terms of taxes and land; as well as encouraged families and cooperatives to
develop crafts and farm produce processing on the basis of local resources.
Last year, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, firms, cooperatives and household
businesses in the district maintained operation and applied e-commerce to
expand markets, thereby creating stable jobs for many local workhands.
The production value of the construction sector posted a growth rate of 18.7 percent,
up 3.3 percent against the initial plan for the year, and that of the
industry-handicraft sector exceeded 602.68 billion VND (26.35 million USD).
Statistics showed that the district is currently home to 38
industry-handicraft firms, 42 cooperatives and 1,131 household
businesses.
The Huy Chi general services cooperative in Hung Son commune purchased 55
machines and devices at a cost of nearly 608 million VND. It received financial
aid worth 298 million VND from a national fund for industrial development
encouragement, said Director Bui Van Hiep.
The cooperative specialises in garment-textile for exports, creating stable
jobs for 50 women in the district and surrounding localities.
Bui Hong Dinh, a resident of Chi Ngoai hamlet of Hung Son commune, said that
after more than one year working at the garment factory of the cooperative, her
income became more stable compared to doing farm work.
As the cooperative held training for workers to use the devices and clarified
requirements of export partners, the female workers quickly got used to the new
job.
In the coming time, the district will work to motivate firms, cooperatives and
production facilities to bolster the application of science-technology and
modern equipment to create high-valued products and sharpen competitive edges.
Local authorities will work with relevant agencies to inspect and review
activities to promptly address bottlenecks in product development and
consumption.
After more than four years of implementing a project launched by the Hoa Binh Party Committee’s Standing Board on developing agriculture and promoting product consumption linked with building new-style rural areas for the 2021-2025 period, the province’s industry and trade sector has made significant strides, greatly contributing to local socio-economic development.
Luong Son district has identified 2025 as the year for the accelerated breakthrough to successfully implement the socio-economic development plan for the 5-year period from 2021 to 2025. The district has been focusing on executing the plans and trying to achieve a GRDP growth rate of approximately 15%.
Since the beginning of this year, under the direction of the Department of Agriculture and Environment, the Sub-Department of Agricultural, Forestry, and Fishery Product Quality Management has strengthened the integration of the professional activities to promote and guide the organizations and individuals in the production and trading of agricultural, forestry, and fishery products to comply with the legal regulations regarding the use of chemicals, pesticides and veterinary medicines in crop cultivation, livestock farming and aquaculture. They also provide guidance to processing and manufacturing establishments on keeping the records to trace the product origins and using food additives from the approved list according to the regulations.

Ha Thi Ha Chi, a 26-year-old graduate in law, has taken an unconventional path by returning to her hometown in Mai Chau district to establish the Tong Dau Cooperative, creating stable jobs for local women and bringing Thai ethnic brocade weaving to the global market.
As the Lunar New Year 2025 approached, pork prices surged, creating a profitable season for farmers in Tan Vinh commune, Luong Son district. Taking advantage of the rising demand, Can Minh Son, a farmer from Coi hamlet, sold over 30 pigs at 69,000 VND/kg, each weighing more than 100 kg. After deducting expenses, his family earned a profit of over 50 million VND.
