HCM CITY – Đồng Nai Province wants the Government to approve three new industrial parks in this year’s national development plan to attract investments post-Covid-19.
To be located in Long Đức, Cẩm Mỹ and Long Thành districts, they will have a combined area of over 6,800ha.
The Cẩm Mỹ zone will be the largest at nearly 3,600ha while the Long Thành zone will be more than 2,600ha.
Cao Tiến Sỹ, head of the Đồng Nai Industrial Zones Authority, said 40 new FDI projects with a total investment of US$168 million had been licensed in the first half while 53 existing ones would add $479 million.
The $647 million attracted so far is 60 per cent of the full-year target, he said.
More foreign and domestic businesses in the province's industrial parks have been increasing their investments and expanding, he said, adding that many of the former are focusing on Việt Nam because of its membership of many free trade agreements.
The province has 32 industrial zones covering over 10,240ha, one of which has not begun operations yet.
It also plans to expand three existing industrial parks because they are nearly full, Dầu Giây by 75ha, Long Khánh by 500ha and Tân Phú by 170ha.
Chaiman of Đồng Nai People’s Committee, Cao Tiến Dũng, said rapid construction and expansion of industrial zones would help the province attract investment once the pandemic is controlled and allot lands to key sectors like supporting and processing industries to enable the country to get deeper into global supply chains.
Numerous ongoing national infrastructure projects such as the Long Thành International Airport and Vũng Tàu - Biên Hòa railway and expressway are enhancing Đồng Nai's attractiveness as an investment destination. VNS
