From purely agricultural district to the one leading industrial development

Previously, in Viet Yen as well as many other areas in the province, people's income mainly relied on agricultural production. In 2003, after many efforts of the province and the locality, construction started on the Dinh Tram Industrial Park - the province's first industrial park, opening up new development opportunities for the district as well as Bac Giang province.

Viet Yen now has four basic industrial parks filled, attracting hundreds of secondary investors. In 2023, the district led 10 localities in the province in production value with a growth rate of 19.94%. 

Its total production value accounted for more than 68% of the province’s figure, with industrial production alone making up more than 78%. The district’s average growth rate in the 2020-2023 period reached 25.56%, exceeding the target set by its district Party congress.

Industrial development has made people's lives change rapidly. From active farmers, they have now become millionaires and billionaires thanks to the motel business and many other services, making residential areas around the industrial parks increasingly bustling. At night, the residential areas are bright and vibrant. Well-decorated shops are busy with trading activities.

To continue the development momentum, in recent years, the district has spent significant resources on socio-economic infrastructure, focusing on transport infrastructure to ensure connections with development areas in the district and regional links; and urban and residential areas.
