Work starts on $182mn industrial park project in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta

The park is located along the Long Xuyen bypass, about 3.5 kilometers from the western North-South Expressway, with direct links to the Chau Doc-Can Tho-Soc Trang Expressway.

This positioning will facilitate transport of goods to Ho Chi Minh City, Can Tho, Tran De port, and other major economic hubs.

The industrial park is designed to attract high-tech industries, food processing, agriculture and aquaculture, logistics, textiles and footwear, construction materials, IT, and electronics.

Once operational, it is expected to create jobs for about 7,800 workers, boosting investment capacity and supporting value-added sectors.

Addressing the ceremony, Nguyen Anh Tuan, deputy general director of T&T Group, said the project is one of the company’s key developments in the Mekong Delta.

He described it as a gateway industrial park for Long Xuyen, symbolizing the region’s shift from traditional agriculture to modern industry.

The park is set to become a green production and logistics hub, enhancing supply chain value and contributing to socio-economic growth in An Giang and the wider Mekong Delta.

Ho Van Mung, chairman of the provincial administration, asserted that more than 30 hectares will be dedicated to logistics services, while green spaces and water surfaces will account for over 22 percent of the site, ensuring an environmentally friendly and modern design.

Local authorities pledged to support the investor by streamlining procedures and ensuring compliance with land, construction, labor safety, fire prevention, and environmental regulations.

During the ceremony, T&T Group also donated VND985 million ($37,400) to subsidize 30 percent of health insurance card costs for low-income households in Long Xuyen, My Thoi, Binh Duc, and My Hoa Hung, aiming for universal health coverage in the area.
