After the merger, Dong Thap province has favorable conditions to form a large industrial space, connecting the headwaters of the Tien River with the coastal area of ​​Go Cong.

The province has reorganized the system of industrial zones and clusters, focusing on developing processing industries, high technology, clean energy, new materials, linked with agricultural value chains and logistics.

According to the Resolution of the 1st Provincial Party Congress, term 2025 - 20230, Dong Thap sets a target of average GRDP growth of 9%/year, reaching 10% or more by the end of the term; mobilizing investment capital for social development accounting for 33% of GRDP, budget revenue increasing by 10%/year, average income per capita reaching 115 - 120 million VND by 2030.

Many large-scale projects come into operation

In 2025, many large-scale industrial projects were completed, contributing significantly to production value and creating jobs for workers.

At Long Giang Industrial Park (IP), Advance Tire Vietnam Co., Ltd. - invested by Guizhou Tire Group (China) with a total capital of 615 million USD - is one of the typical projects. After completing the first two phases, the project has entered stable production, making an important contribution to the province's export turnover. Currently, the enterprise is implementing phase 3 with a total investment of 228 million USD, building a production line of 6 million radial semi-steel tires per year. The first tire was shipped on July 10, and it is expected that by June 2026, the factory will reach its design capacity, with revenue in 2025 estimated at over 300 million USD, an increase of 18% over the previous year.

In the field of agricultural processing, Thabico Tien Giang Food Industry Joint Stock Company in Binh Ninh Commune (Dong Thap) is a bright spot. The enterprise currently operates an IQF super-fast freezing line with a capacity of 60,000 tons of agricultural products per year. This technology helps preserve the flavor and nutritional value of the product, expanding the export market to many countries. By the end of September 2025, the enterprise had completed more than 80% of the annual production plan and is launching a year-end sprint emulation movement.

According to the Dong Thap Economic Zone Management Board, 15 industrial production projects in industrial zones are expected to be completed and put into operation by 2025, with a total investment of nearly VND 7,000 billion.

New impetus for sustainable development

To further promote the role of industry in growth, Dong Thap is promoting the development of infrastructure for industrial parks and clusters (IPs), creating favorable conditions for production and investment. The province is monitoring the progress of completing Tan Kieu IP, as well as IPs Quang Khanh, Dinh An, An Hoa, My Phuoc Tay, Thanh Tan and Quang Khanh phase 2. In addition, the locality also reported on the implementation of the Soai Rap Petroleum Service IP project, and researched investment in Phu Tan IP to expand the space for industrial development.

The provincial government regularly reviews and updates the land use situation in industrial zones, supports enterprises in completing investment procedures, disbursing loans and increasing occupancy rates. The province also resolutely handles slow-progressing projects, requiring enterprises to commit to implementation deadlines, otherwise the land will be reclaimed according to regulations.

At the same time, Dong Thap encourages businesses to innovate technology, diversify products, develop brands and increase added value...

With a clear orientation and determination to accompany businesses, Dong Thap industry is gradually asserting its role as a key growth driver alongside agriculture. Dozens of large-scale projects coming into operation in 2025 will not only create economic value but also open up a direction for sustainable and modern development for the locality.

The figures on investment, production and growth show the outstanding efforts of the Dong Thap government and business community in the context of increasingly fierce competition to attract capital. With this momentum, industry is expected to continue to be the "lever" to help Dong Thap grow strongly in the period 2026-2030, making an important contribution to the overall development of the Mekong Delta.
