1. Overview of Bac Kan

a. Economic picture of Bac Kan

Bac Kan Province is located in the northeastern region of Vietnam. With a total area of 4859.4 km2 and a population of approximately 308 thousand people (in 2021), Bac Kan is one of the provinces with the smallest economic and population scale in Vietnam.

• Bac Kan’s economy currently focuses mainly on agriculture, forestry, and tourism.
• Labor safety training services in Bac Kan City, Ba Be District, Bach Thong District, Cho Don District, Cho Moi District, Na Ri District, Ngan Son District, Pac Nam District of Bac Kan Province are developing strongly.
• In agriculture, Bac Kan has favorable natural conditions for crops such as tea, rice, potatoes, beans, etc. Agricultural products are mainly consumed domestically, with some tea products exported to the Chinese market.
• Forestry is a developed economic sector contributing significantly to Bac Kan’s economy. The province has a forest coverage of 372 thousand hectares, accounting for 76.5% of the provincial area. Key forestry products include wood, bamboo, rattan, dried plants, coconut leaves, and other forest products.
• The tourism sector is also being emphasized in Bac Kan, with many attractive destinations such as Ba Be Lake, Ba Be National Park, Dau Dang Waterfall, Pac Bo Cave, and more.

However, Bac Kan still faces many challenges in economic development, particularly in infrastructure and investment capital. Industrial, service, and commercial sectors are unevenly developed and have not yet contributed significantly to the provincial economy.

b. Manufacturing sector in Bac Kan

• Bac Kan is one of the poorest provinces in Vietnam, with an economy mainly based on agriculture and forestry. Agriculture plays an important role in the provincial economy, accounting for over 50% of GDP and providing employment for more than 60% of the population. Major agricultural products include rice, corn, cassava, sweet potatoes, beans, and vegetables.
• In recent years, Bac Kan has developed some other manufacturing sectors such as processing forest products like wood, sugarcane, bamboo, rattan, as well as brick and granite production. However, these sectors are still developing and have not contributed significantly to the province’s GDP.
• Additionally, Bac Kan is developing some services such as tourism, especially eco-tourism, but the results are still below expectations.

c. Construction sector in Bac Kan

• The construction situation in Bac Kan Province is relatively stable and has not fluctuated much recently. However, due to geographical location and overall economic conditions, most construction projects are limited to essential works, infrastructure, and small civil constructions.

• Nevertheless, Bac Kan still faces difficulties in attracting construction investment projects. The main reasons are its mountainous geography, challenging terrain, slow economic development, and incomplete infrastructure. Therefore, promoting investment in construction and economic development in Bac Kan requires cooperation between local authorities, businesses, and relevant organizations to enhance investment appeal, boost economic development, and improve people’s living standards.
