Furthermore, there was a surge in the prices of most exports, particularly cashew, coffee, and pepper, contributing to the rise in the export revenue.
The province’s index of industrial production in the period grew 7.37% as compared to the same time last year, with sound growth seen in such sectors as tobacco (8.5%), garments and textiles (7.6%), leather and related products (6.7%), rubber and plastic products (10.7%), and electrical equipment (10%).

For the remainder of the year, the province will continue carrying out measures to remove bottlenecks for enterprises, as well as help them access credit resources, expand export markets, and capitalise on trade agreements./.
