According to the Vinh Long Provincial Party Committee, the Program to implement the Resolution of the 11th Provincial Party Congress on the development of industrial parks and clusters for the period 2021-2025 (Program No. 13-CTr/TU) has been widely deployed. Through assessment, industrial parks and clusters have made great contributions to the province's economic growth, with the industrial production index growing over the years.

Achieved many positive results
According to the Provincial Party Committee, Program No. 13-CTr/TU was implemented in the context of the global economy facing many difficulties and challenges.
The province's socio-economic situation is facing many significant impacts due to the domestic and international situation and internal factors of the province such as the small scale of the economy, low efficiency and competitiveness of enterprises... However, the province has mobilized resources for investment and development, paying attention to investment attraction. Therefore, the results of building and developing industrial zones and clusters are quite positive.
According to the report, in the 2021-2025 period, the province has attracted 14 new investment projects with a total registered investment capital of VND285 billion and USD130 million; there are 38 expanded investment projects with a total registered investment capital of over VND726 billion and over USD128 million. To date, 69 projects have been attracted, with a total investment capital of over VND3,308 billion and over USD1 billion invested in 2 industrial parks (IPs), Hoa Phu and Binh Minh. The occupancy rate is over 96%, of which Hoa Phu IP reaches 99.29%, Binh Minh IP reaches 91.34%.
In addition, the province is also focusing on investing in 3 planned industrial parks including: Dong Binh, An Dinh and Gilimex Vinh Long Industrial Parks. Of which, the 350ha Dong Binh Industrial Park has been approved by the Prime Minister for project investment policy.
Gilimex Vinh Long Industrial Park Phase 1 is 225ha and has been approved by the Prime Minister for investment policy. Currently, the investor has completed the procedures to ensure project implementation according to regulations and is preparing to carry out site clearance. While An Dinh Industrial Park is carrying out procedures to apply for investment policy, Hoa Phu Industrial Park Phase 3 has also been integrated into Vinh Long province's planning for the period 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050.
Meanwhile, the planning for industrial cluster development until 2020, with a vision to 2030, was approved by the Provincial People's Committee with 14 industrial clusters, totaling 614 hectares. Up to now, the province has 3 industrial clusters that have been decided to be established with more than 151 hectares, including: Trung Nghia, Tan Binh and Thuan An Industrial Clusters. Of which, Trung Nghia Industrial Cluster specializing in energy has come into operation; Tan Binh Industrial Cluster is being invested in, while Thuan An Industrial Cluster has decided to terminate the project.
According to the assessment, industrial zones and clusters contribute greatly to the economic growth of the province, the industrial production index has increased over the years, promoting the industrial sector to contribute with an increasingly larger proportion to GRDP growth and export turnover has grown continuously over the years, especially in 2024, for the first time, export turnover exceeded the 1 billion USD mark.
According to Mr. Tran Minh Khoi - Head of the Provincial Industrial Park Management Board, the industrial parks that have come into operation have greatly contributed to the economy, FDI enterprises also bring advanced technology and production techniques, helping to improve production quality and efficiency; creating more job opportunities for local workers. In particular, the presence of a number of FDI enterprises will promote the development of supporting industries. This creates a strong and sustainable industrial ecosystem in the coming time; increasing export value to international markets.
| In the coming time, the province will support and remove difficulties and obstacles for investors who have investment policy decisions, investment registration certificates, and investors who have signed memorandums of understanding at the province's investment promotion conferences to quickly implement projects. Promote administrative procedure reform, facilitate investors' access to land resources; maintain and improve the provincial competitiveness index (CPI), and the provincial green index (PGI) better and better. |
Continue investment attraction solutions
Despite many positive results, the program's objectives have not yet been achieved, according to the report. In particular, the implementation of new industrial parks whose investment policies have been approved by the Prime Minister still faces many difficulties; the implementation of resettlement areas to serve the work of compensation and site clearance for industrial parks is still slow and unsynchronized.
In addition, joint venture, association and development cooperation programs between Vinh Long and other provinces and cities have not been effective in attracting investment, supporting industries have not developed, and have not met the needs of industrial production. There is no clean land fund to attract investment in building infrastructure for industrial clusters, and the progress of implementing industrial clusters is slow...
There are many objective and subjective reasons, but one of them is that the policy mechanism to attract investment in developing industrial clusters is not really attractive to investors, and has not attracted more breakthrough projects to create new capacity. In the coming time, the province will effectively implement the planning of Vinh Long province for the period 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050 and specialized planning, ensuring consistency as a legal basis for developing industrial zones and clusters. At the same time, the project to restructure the industry and trade sector until 2030 will be implemented.
In addition, focus on accelerating the implementation of industrial parks, resettlement projects, and worker housing for industrial parks according to approved plans. In particular, develop industrial parks and clusters in a modern direction and prioritize the development of the province's strong industries, the industry structure is oriented towards export processing industry, agricultural processing, production of high value-added consumer goods; supporting industries. At the same time, create cooperation links between enterprises and raw material areas, improve the competitiveness of local enterprises' products.
The province also proposed solutions to increase investment attraction such as reviewing and supplementing investment support policies; strengthening the work of improving the investment environment to be open and favorable for investors to implement projects; strengthening investment promotion, inviting enterprises to invest in technical infrastructure of industrial zones and clusters and attracting secondary investment projects into industrial zones and clusters. In particular, priority is given to attracting the development of logistics infrastructure to serve the preservation, consumption, export, and processing of agricultural products, etc.
“The province will continue to improve the investment environment to be open and favorable for investors to implement projects. Innovate investment promotion activities, especially inviting large corporations and investors with strong resources to industrial parks suitable for the type of development orientation. Diversify methods of advertising, investment promotion, and calling for investment in industrial parks through experts, universities, and domestic and foreign economic groups,” said Mr. Tran Minh Khoi.
| According to the assessment of the Provincial Party Committee, industrial zones and clusters contribute greatly to the economic growth of the province, the industrial production index has increased over the years, promoting the industrial sector to contribute an increasingly larger proportion to GRDP growth.
