Five products for the Government’s support

Most products are the quintessences of the human efforts in correctly exploiting natural resources and applying international-standard technologies, he said.
He also urged enterprises to apply and research new science and technology for their production. Thereby, enterprises can propose five best-quality scientìic and technological products to get the Government’s marketing supports.

However, weaknesses remain in financial structure and management.
In addition, international analysts evaluated that the country’s products are not innovative and qualified enough dues to its technological instability and incompletion.
Moreover, the application of science and technology is still low. Enterprises are not willing to purchase new hi-tech know-how for their long-run production. Not to mention, the human resources are weak and infrastructure and equipment are out-of-date.
