Hung Yen (VNA)🥀 – Greenworks Co., Ltd. has broken ground on Phase 2 of its lithium battery-powered garden tools factory at Lien Ha Thai Industrial Park (Green iP-1) in the northern province of Hung Yen. With a total registered investment of 200 million USD across an area of around 20 ha, the project is being rolled out in three phases.
Phase 1, covering 46,000 sq.m, entered operation in August 2023. It is designed to produce 100 million plastic components and nearly 3,900 tonnes of metal parts annually. The initial successes of this phase have affirmed the effectiveness of the investment and laid a solid foundation for the project's subsequent phases.
Phase 2, now under construction, will utilise 44,200 sq.m. This phase will focus on the production of aluminium-cast components (approximately 1,550 tonnes/year), battery packs (100,000 units/year), and motors for garden tools (20,000 units/year).
Phase 3, occupying nearly 110,000 sq.m, will assemble finished products using input components from the previous two phases. While a portion of plastic parts and components will be exported to the parent company, the majority will be assembled into complete garden equipment with an expected annual output of over 3 million units.
Once fully operational, the Greenworks Thai Binh plant is expected to generate annual revenues of approximately 500 million USD and create stable employment for around 5,000 local workers. The presence of a major investor like Greenworks in the Lien Ha Thai Industrial Park will contribute to strengthening high-tech and environmentally friendly industrial production, while promoting green transition efforts.
Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony, a Greenworks representative said the launch of Phase 2 marks a significant milestone in Greenworks’ development strategy in the Asia-Pacific region. The project demonstrates the company’s strong commitment and long-term vision in expanding its market presence, enhancing production capacity, and driving innovation. He also expressed strong confidence in the potential of the Vietnamese market in general and Hung Yen province in particular.

Beyond short-term measures, Hung Yen is implementing four strategic pillars: science and technology, innovation and digital transformation, international integration, institutional reform, and the private economic sector.
Hung Yen is calling for further Japanese investment in industrial parks and economic zones, aligned with its development master plan through 2050. The province posted 8.11% GDP growth in the first half of 2025, surpassing the national average.
The apparatus reorganisation must assure smooth operation of organisations and agencies and avoid disruptions to the activities of the Party, administrations, citizens, and businesses, President Luong Cuong told officials of the two provinces.
Tay Ninh, Nghe An and Quang Tri provinces have strategic locations and significant cooperation potential, said Nguyen Thi Thai Binh, Minister-Counsellor at the Vietnamese Embassy, expressing confidence that with creativity and determination, these provinces and their Korean partners will find ample opportunities for productive collaboration.
Jointly organised by the Vinexad National Trade Fair and Advertising JSC and Yorkers Exhibition Service Vietnam, the event features 1,200 booths of more than 650 exhibitors from 20 countries and territories, including Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Switzerland, Thailand, and the US.
Public investment should serve as a key driver of growth, acting as seed capital to catalyse and mobilise all social resources, thereby fostering economic expansion, creating jobs and livelihoods, and improving the material and spiritual well-being of the people, PM Pham Minh Chinh stated.
An official of the Foreign Trade Agency laid stress on the foundational role of rules of origin in international trade, highlighting the importance of capacity building for enforcement officers in the context of deep international integration.
Against the backdrop of the growing comprehensive strategic partnership between Vietnam and Russia, the promotion and export of Vietnam’s agricultural products not only diversify supply sources for the Russian market but also help enhance the brand values and competitiveness of Vietnamese enterprises in the market that remains untapped.
International trade is no longer merely an exchange of goods but a strategic lever enabling Vietnamese enterprises to enhance capacity, secure partnerships, and expand globally.
In the first eight months of 2025, Vietnam’s total trade value reached nearly 600 billion USD, up 16.3% year on year. Of this, exports stood at 306 billion USD, a 14.8% increase, already surpassing the full-year target.
Vietnam aims to maintain macroeconomic stability, control inflation below the target, achieve growth of 8.3-8.5%, ensure major economic balances, surpass budget revenue estimates by 25%, and control public debt, government debt, foreign debt, and budget deficit.
Reaffirming Vietnam’s commitment to foreign investors, Finance Minister Nguyen Van Thang said government policies always aim to ensure transparency, fairness and a mutually beneficial environment that promotes innovation and safeguards investor rights, making Vietnam a sustainable and long-term investment destination.
The State Bank of Vietnam must launch an official gold price information portal, study the establishment of gold exchanges, and issue guiding documents to implement the Government’s decree on the management of gold trading activities.
According to the World Bank Group, Vietnam will need approximately 368 billion USD in investment for climate adaptation and carbon reduction projects by 2040. Yet, as of the end of 2024, green credit accounted for just 4.5% of the country’s total outstanding loans.
Amidst robust digital transformation across all sectors, the food processing industry has tapped such digital technologies as Internet of Things, AI, blockchain and Big Data to optimise production process, control supply chain, and meet consumers’ demands.
The French side pledged to share technical guidelines and safety standards, with the Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety (IRSN) ready to provide training for Vietnamese specialists.
Vietnam now has more than 940,000 private enterprises and over 5 million household businesses, contributing approximately 50% of GDP, over 30% of state budget revenue, and employing 82% of the national workforce.
Businesses underlined the need for expanding green credit and non-collateral concessional loans for circular agriculture projects, facilitating their participation in national key projects, and fostering alliances among Vietnamese enterprises as well as cooperation with regional partners.
State-owned Vietcombank currently leads the banking system with total assets exceeding 85 billion USD and a market capitalisation of over 20 billion USD, while maintaining strong financial safety indicators. Its non-performing loan ratio remains the lowest in the sector at 0.97%.
Malaysia is Vietnam’s third-largest trading partner in ASEAN and ninth globally, as well as a key investor with 731 valid projects worth about 13 billion USD. Bilateral trade reached 9.23 billion USD by July 2025, up 8% year-on-year, nearing the 18 billion USD target.
