Vietnam has defined six industries to be given priority in the country’s industrialisation strategy within the framework of Vietnam-Japan cooperation, which will serve as the key ones of the national economy.
Under the strategy to 2020 with a vision for 2030, which has just been approved by the Prime Minister, the six industries are electronics; agricultural machine; processing of agricultural and seafood products; ship building; environment and energy saving; automobile and spare part manufacturing.
Those priority industries are expected to serve as a locomotive to stimulate domestic and foreign investment, especially from Japanese enterprises, thus, spreading “technological seeds” to other industries and the economy in general.
These industries should achieve a growth of at least 20 percent per annum in production value, and together they should contribute at least 35 percent of the national industrial value by 2020.
By 2030, the prioritised industries are expected to use mainly high and green technology suitable with the economic conditions of Vietnam./.
