Many businesses have focused on deep processing production from Phong Dien white sand.

Large reserves

When mentioning Phong Dien, many people think of the vast inland and coastal white sand area with more than 31 thousand hectares stretching from the central area to the east of the town. According to Decision No. 1626/2023/QD-TTg, dated December 15, 2023 of the Prime Minister on approving the planning for exploration, exploitation, processing and use of minerals as construction materials in the period 2021 - 2030, with a vision to 2050, Phong Dien has 20 locations with an area of ​​more than 2,747 hectares of white sand for the construction materials industry, concentrated in the wards and communes: Dien Hoa (now Phong Phu), Phong Hien, Phong Hoa, Phong Binh, Phong Chuong... Up to now, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment has licensed 5 mining units, including Frit Hue Joint Stock Company with an area of ​​25.6 hectares; Viet Phuong Investment Group Joint Stock Company with more than 40.6 hectares; Prime Thien Phuc Joint Stock Company 7.26ha; Khanh Hoa Minerals and Investment Joint Stock Company nearly 8.1ha (currently stopped mining); Vietnam Service and Investment Import-Export Joint Stock Company more than 57ha.

Since the day enterprises came to invest in the Phong Dien sand area, the poor rural areas by the river and the sea have gradually changed their appearance. Typically, the formation of Phong Dien Industrial Park and up to now it has expanded to more than 700 hectares, attracting more than 25 projects to go into production and business. The road system connecting trade, commercial services have also been invested in and developed... Along the sand areas that have been licensed for enterprises to manage and exploit, a wide chessboard connecting road has been formed, with electricity lighting all night long.

Regarding new potential for development, the town needs to focus on developing industries with potential advantages in raw materials and the ability to exploit them for production with high added value. In particular, it is necessary to focus on developing the silica processing industry at a high level to make an important contribution to the local and city economy.
