Tien Giang: Promoting industrialization and modernization

INDUSTRY PROMOTION

Along with the whole country, Tien Giang 's industry has also been shaped since the 1990s and has developed quite rapidly in recent years, especially when Tien Giang formed industrial zones and clusters. When industry developed, it contributed positively to job creation, increased budget revenue and many other social policies.

Tien Giang's industrial development policy continues to be implemented, especially in areas with great potential such as Tan Phuoc or the coastal area of ​​Go Cong. According to the plan until 2030, Tien Giang will develop 11 industrial parks (IPs), with a total area of ​​over 3,358 hectares, including 6 IPs that have been allocated land use targets by the Prime Minister : My Tho, Tan Huong, Long Giang, Soai Rap Petroleum Services, Binh Dong, Tan Phuoc 1 with a total area of ​​over 1,783 hectares; 5 IPs including: Tan Phuoc 2, Tan Phuoc 3, Tan Phuoc 4, Tan Phuoc 5, Phu Tan with a total area of ​​1,575 hectares will be newly developed when meeting the conditions prescribed by the law on IPs.

Currently, 3 industrial parks, My Tho, Tan Huong, Long Giang, with a total area of ​​over 816 hectares, have been operating stably with a land lease rate of over 89%. Particularly, Binh Dong Industrial Park and Tan Phuoc 1 Industrial Park are urgently carrying out site clearance work for investors to deploy infrastructure investment. According to the registered progress plan, it is expected that by the end of 2025, these 2 industrial parks will be put into operation with an area of ​​about 120 hectares.

It is expected that by 2030, Tien Giang will fill 100% of the industrial land area in 3 industrial parks: Long Giang, Binh Dong and Tan Phuoc 1. At the same time, the province continues to plan to develop 26 industrial parks, with a total area of ​​1,375 hectares, bringing the total number of industrial parks to 30 with a total area of ​​1,476 hectares. Currently, the province has 4 industrial parks with infrastructure investment (Trung An, Tan My Chanh, An Thanh, Gia Thuan 1), with a total area of ​​101.03 hectares.

With the focus on developing industrial infrastructure, in recent times, industrial zones and clusters in the province have attracted many investment projects, especially foreign investors. The projects, when put into operation, have been effective in creating jobs for workers, contributing to the state budget and exporting...

Currently, industrial parks across the province have attracted 114 projects with a total investment capital of 2.85 billion USD and 4,959 billion VND. Thereby, creating jobs for more than 86,700 workers. Operating industrial parks have attracted 68 projects with a total registered investment capital of 0.2 billion USD and 998.2 billion VND. Enterprises are operating relatively stably, creating jobs for more than 14,500 workers.

FOCUS ON INFRASTRUCTURE

To continue to develop infrastructure investment projects in industrial parks, industrial clusters, and secondary investment projects in industrial parks and industrial clusters in the province, the Provincial People's Committee has assigned the Department of Agriculture and Environment to preside over and coordinate with the People's Committee of Go Cong City and Tan Phuoc District to accelerate the progress of land recovery and site clearance for the Binh Dong Industrial Park and Tan Phuoc 1 Industrial Park projects; at the same time, contact the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment to register additional land, industrial park and industrial cluster indicators, as a basis for organizing investment invitations for the Tan Phuoc 2 Industrial Park, My Phuoc 2 Industrial Park, My Phuoc 3 Industrial Park projects; focus on organizing auctions of land use rights to invite investment for My Phuoc 1 Industrial Park projects...

The province will also focus on calling for investment to fill up Long Giang Industrial Park; speed up the project preparation and approval process for investment policies as a basis for the Department of Agriculture and Environment to organize auctions of land use rights to select investors to implement the Soai Rap Petroleum Service Industrial Park project; organize the selection of investors for My Phuoc Tay, My Loi, Long Binh, Vinh Huu, Phu Thanh Industrial Parks, etc.

According to Deputy Director of the Department of Finance Nguyen Dinh Thong, in the period 2011 - 2025, the total social investment capital of Tien Giang province has grown significantly over the periods. From 96,134 billion VND in the period 2011 - 2015 to 157,682 billion VND in the period 2016 - 2020 and is expected to reach 233,793 billion VND in the period 2021 - 2025.

This reflects the strong development of the economy and the increased investment attraction in the province. The increase in investment capital in the period of 2016 - 2020 and the forecast in the period of 2021 - 2025 is mainly for large infrastructure projects (especially transport infrastructure, manufacturing and processing industry and logistics infrastructure).

This shows that Tien Giang province is focusing on creating a solid foundation to attract domestic and foreign investors; at the same time, creating momentum for sustainable industrial development. The strong growth of total social investment capital in the period of 2021 - 2025 reflects the future industrialization and modernization strategy, with large projects and industrial parks, export processing zones, and service industry development.

On the common journey to realize the goal of industrialization and modernization of the whole country, Tien Giang has achieved many important achievements. However, the road ahead for Tien Giang is still long. Because, in fact, the industrialization and modernization policy of Tien Giang has not stopped. Because the potentials and advantages of Tien Giang in the past have not been properly exploited, the space for economic development is still large, especially through the Planning of Tien Giang province approved by the Prime Minister.
