A view of the Industry - Minerals thematic discussion session
Representatives of provinces and cities in the Central and Central Highlands regions exchanged experience and discussed solutions to challenges in industrial production, mineral resources, trade and energy development at three thematic sessions held in Quảng Ngãi on November 9.
The sessions were organised by the Quảng Ngãi Department of Industry and Trade in coordination with the Departments of Industry and Trade of other localities, within the framework of the 12th Central and Central Highlands Industry and Trade Conference 2026.
At the session on industry and minerals, delegates shared practical experience and discussed difficulties in managing industrial clusters, chemicals, industrial explosives, geology and mineral resources.
Key issues included selecting investors for industrial cluster infrastructure, managing and operating State-funded infrastructure, attracting secondary investors and developing support mechanisms for industrial clusters.
Participants also discussed challenges in licensing the production and trading of regulated chemicals and the use of industrial explosives for construction projects.
Delegates reviewed the progress of power generation, transmission and renewable energy projects, while identifying obstacles related to planning, investment procedures, land, environmental requirements, site clearance and grid connection agreements.
They called for greater coordination among localities and relevant central agencies to resolve bottlenecks, accelerate project implementation, ensure a stable electricity supply and promote renewable energy development in line with approved plans and local conditions.
Meanwhile, the trade session focused on e-commerce development in the Central and Central Highlands regions and the need to strengthen inter-regional cooperation.
Participants noted that telecommunications infrastructure, internet access and digital payment services had improved, while businesses were increasingly adopting online platforms, livestream sales, product traceability and digital marketing to expand their markets.
Delegates propose strengthening regional links to connect OCOP products and local specialties
However, disparities in digital infrastructure and technological capacity, logistics costs and difficulties in connecting supply sources with consumer markets remained key challenges.
Delegates proposed strengthening regional links to connect OCOP products and local specialties with distribution networks, e-commerce platforms and consumer markets. They also called for closer coordination in digital trade promotion, business networking, product promotion and market data sharing.
The sessions provided a forum for localities to share experience, identify common challenges and propose practical solutions to improve coordination and promote sustainable development across the region's industry, mineral resources, trade and energy sectors.
