The southern province of Dong Nai posted a month on-monthincrease of 0.6 percent and a year-on-year rise of 9.8 percent inNovember’s industrial production index (IPI), according to Nguyen VanQuan, Vice Director of the provincial Department of Industry and Trade.
The aggregate figure for the January-Novemberperiod showed a 7.9 percent expansion compared to the same period lastyear, with the processing industry climbing 7.7 percent, he said.
Quan attributed the results to the enhanced production capacity oflocal enterprises, along with stable orders and decreased materialprices, particularly fuel prices.
In particular,many foreign invested projects became operational this year,contributing to raising the province’s industrial production capacity,he said.
However, some sectors suffered from unfaircompetition by smuggled goods, leading to sharp decreases, includingtobacco and tobacco products production, 13 percent, textile, 2.9percent, and paper, 23 percent, the official noted.
According to the department’s forecast, the local IPI will increase by8.3 percent for the whole 2014, higher than that of 2013 at 7.6 percent.
