The remarkable growth in 2022 can be attributed to the recovery from the low growth rate in the previous year, which was impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Favorable export markets and increased contracts revitalized the domestic market, while commercial activities and services gradually returned to normal. Additionally, favorable weather conditions and effective measures against African swine fever boosted agricultural production. Various sectors, including processing and manufacturing industries, electricity production, construction, wholesale and retail, transportation, and accommodation and food services, experienced significant growth rates. The third quarter of 2022 stood out with high growth, driven by the service sector and the industrial and construction sector.

The agriculture, forestry, and fisheries sector, the industry and construction sector, and the service sector all played significant roles in contributing to the overall growth. The recovery of commercial activities, services, and entertainment played a vital role in the service sector’s growth, outperforming the industrial sector for the first time.

2. Industry:

The industrial production in Dong Nai province exhibited signs of recovery and stability in early 2022. The favorable export market and increased orders resulted in significant production growth, with ample labor supply meeting the demands. However, starting from the third quarter of 2022, production slowed down due to global market difficulties, impacting the economy. Businesses encountered challenges due to high inflation, potential supply chain disruptions, particularly for raw materials, and a sharp decline in exports, especially to the US and Europe. Footwear, textiles, garments, wood products, and electronics industries faced order shortages and job scarcity, leading to unpaid leaves and resignations. Nevertheless, many businesses overcame these obstacles, sustaining production through effective solutions, ensuring continued industrial production in the province in later months. Nevertheless, these difficulties had a significant impact on industrial production.

The estimated industrial production index for 2022 rose by 8.32% compared to the previous year (3.95% increase). Notably, mining grew by 5.48%, processing and manufacturing by 8.46%, electricity production and distribution by 6.71%, and water supply, waste management, and treatment by 4.74%. Key industries experienced substantial growth, including food processing (7.02%), garment production (11.88%), leather and related products (8.11%), paper and paper products (8.7%), chemicals (10.22%), and rubber and plastic products (7.14%). This growth can be attributed to businesses’ efforts to overcome challenges and proactive management, direction, and support from Dong Nai province’s leaders. However, certain sectors faced decreases compared to the previous year, such as electronic and computer production (-0.82%), while others experienced minimal growth, like furniture production (0.4%), metal production (0.82%), and metal product manufacturing (1.67%).
