Agricultural production was developed in the direction of high quality.

Industry - construction maintained relatively good growth. The investment environment has been continuously improved, so more and more big investors have registered in the province.

Trade - services were stable and well developed; the connection between supply and demand to consume agricultural products was well implemented; the system of markets and supermarkets developed strongly in key areas of the province
