New impetus for the development of logistics in Can Tho.

In the strategy to transform Can Tho into the logistics hub of the Mekong Delta region, transportation and logistics infrastructure are considered crucial links driving development. A series of key national transportation projects and large-scale logistics projects are being implemented, opening up opportunities for the city to leverage its role as a central hub connecting goods throughout the region.

Businesses signed a Memorandum of Understanding for investment cooperation in the VSIP Can Tho Industrial Park at the Can Tho - Singapore Business Networking Program recently held in Can Tho City.

In recent years, the transportation network connecting Can Tho with other localities in the region and the whole country has been gradually improved. The My Thuan - Can Tho expressway, now in operation, has significantly shortened the time for transporting goods from the Mekong Delta to the Southern key economic region. Meanwhile, the Can Tho - Ca Mau and Chau Doc - Can Tho - Soc Trang expressway projects are being accelerated, promising to form a strategic transportation axis connecting the southwestern border to the region's deep-sea port system.

Besides road infrastructure, the waterway system – a unique advantage of the Mekong Delta – is also receiving significant investment. Upgrading maritime channels and developing inland ports and wharves will contribute to increasing the capacity for transporting goods by waterway, reducing pressure on road transport, and saving logistics costs. This is considered a suitable approach given the region's riverine characteristics, helping to enhance the competitiveness of exported agricultural products.

In Can Tho, numerous industrial and logistics infrastructure projects are being promoted. The city is focusing on developing new industrial parks linked to modern warehousing, distribution centers, and logistics services. The VSIP Can Tho industrial park, along with other logistics center projects, is expected to create more development opportunities for businesses and attract domestic and foreign investors to participate in the region's supply chain.

With the projects currently underway, Can Tho is creating more favorable conditions to realize its goal of becoming the logistics hub of the Mekong Delta. This will allow the city to affirm its role as a gateway for trade, contributing to reduced logistics costs and enhanced competitiveness for goods throughout the region.
