Infrastructure connecting the sub-region with major economic centers such as Can Tho City and Ho Chi Minh City is being systematically invested in, thereby reducing logistics costs, improving the efficiency of goods circulation, and enhancing the competitiveness of the entire region.

Long Xuyen city is oriented towards developing into a knowledge-based, green, and modern city, playing a central role in education , training, scientific research, and innovation for the province; focusing on investing in the development of universities, research institutes, technology transfer centers, innovation incubators, and support services for high-tech agricultural businesses. “In the coming time, the eastern sub-region needs to continue to promote the improvement of the investment and business environment, focusing on preparing clean land funds, completing technical and urban infrastructure, especially the infrastructure of industrial zones and clusters; at the same time, strengthening the promotion and attraction of strategic investors, large-scale projects, and high-tech projects to increase the proportion of capital and the efficiency of land use, thereby affirming its role as a driving force for the province's economic development,” Mr. Pham Minh Tam suggested.

Businesses, cooperatives, and individual entrepreneurs face numerous difficulties; budget revenue in some localities is low and falls short of targets.

Infrastructure in some localities is inadequate and not synchronized, affecting the effectiveness of socio-economic development.
