Bắc Giang Province is preparing for significant growth in the semiconductor industry, with an estimated demand for around 6,300 workers in the 2025-2030 period.
Vice Chairman of the Bắc Giang Provincial People''s Committee Lê Ô Pích said that the province has focused on various measures to promote the development of agriculture, forestry and fisheries in the final months of 2024.
Besides the domestic consumption, Bắc Giang has increased the lychee export to many markets, including the US, Japan, EU, Australia and Canada, according to the Department of Industry and Trade of Bắc Giang Province.
Bắc Giang Province will continue to strengthen cooperation with the Republic of Korea (RoK), Director of the provincial Department of Foreign Affairs Ngô Biên Cương said.
This surge is attributed to adverse weather conditions that significantly reduced Bắc Giang’s lychee output, which now stands at nearly 100,000 tonnes, around half of last year''s production.
Fresh lychees from Lục Ngạn district, the northern province of Bắc Giang, continue to be sold at the supermarket chain of Gourmet Market and shopping malls belonging to Thailand’s The Mall Group this year.
They will give priority to investors having financial capacity, management skills, high-tech projects, using less labour, less wastewater and less power.
Deputy Chairman of Tân Yên District People’s Commmitee Ngô Quốc Hưng said at a recent event to promote lychee consumption that Tân Yên early ripe lychees are popular for their quality, food safety and origin traceability.
Bắc Giang Province’s small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) still face considerable challenges in accessing credit, with the primary reason being the complicated loan approval procedures, which take a long time to complete.
Bắc Giang is focusing on developing a work force to attract investments into the semiconductor industry and capture the opportunities of a digital era.
