Early relocation of industrial cluster of more than 11 hectares out of inner city area

At noon on April 8, we arrived at Vinh Niem Industrial Park (IC) in Vinh Niem Ward, Le Chan District, Hai Phong City. In contrast to the bustling scene often seen in other areas and ICs during rush hour, this place was quite quiet.

Ms. T., the owner of a coffee shop in Vinh Niem Industrial Park, said that recently, many factories have been used or rented out by businesses as warehouses. Therefore, the number of workers is much less than before.

“On average, only about 20 customers visit my shop every day, mostly drivers waiting to pick up or deliver goods. At this rate, I will soon have to close the shop and find another job,” Ms. T. lamented.
