Improving product quality The Nguyen Van Toan household business in the Non Nuoc Stone Carving Village at the foot of Da Nang’s famous Marble Mountain was one typical recipient of the industry promotion program. In the past, it used a semi-automatic turning lathe, which could only turn out 3-4 stone products a day, most of them fragile and inaccurate. With funding from the industry promotion program, the establishment invested in automatic lathes worth nearly VND800 million, including VND140 million from the local industry promotion budget.
