Long An calls for investment in 15 projects
The Mekong Delta province of Long An is calling for investment in 15 projects, especially those in industrial parks and in the fields of waste water treatment, biotechnology and logistics, agriculture, transport infrastructure, and energy development.
With large material areas, the Dong Thap Muoi region is suitable for agricultural development and processing industry. It has 330,000 ha of farmland, over 30,000 ha of forest land, and 8,500 ha of aquaculture area.

In the first six months of this year, foreign investors poured around US$5 billion in 739 projects in the province.
In the same period, the local authorities also granted licences to 195 investment projects worth a total VND20 trillion (US$900 million), including over US$400 million from 53 foreign-invested projects.
The positive outcomes were attributable to solutions devised by the local authorities, including activities to support enterprises, and investment in infrastructure development, especially transport and electricity facilities.
The provincial administration has taken many measures to improve the provincial competitive index (PCI), while organising conferences to boost links between local firms with foreign counterparts.
