Van Yen focuses on completing industrial infrastructure

In the first quarter of 2025, Van Yen district has welcomed a new project approved for investment, which is the project to invest in building a high-quality livestock farm of T&T Green Agriculture Company Limited with a total investment of 16 billion VND. This is a positive signal, continuing the success in attracting previous large projects.

Typically, the EREX Sakura Yen Bai Biomass Fuel Plant Project and the Yen Bai 1 Biomass Power Plant of the EREX Yen Bai Biomass Power Company Limited (belonging to the Erex Group, Japan) at the Bac Van Yen Industrial Park, with a total investment of 118 million USD, are being actively implemented on an area of 15.37 hectares. This project has received special attention from the government in site clearance and completion of procedures.

According to Mr. Luu Trung Kien - Vice Chairman of the District People's Committee, Van Yen's orientation is to focus on advantageous industries such as agricultural and forestry processing industry (cinnamon, wood, cassava...), minerals, construction materials; at the same time, aiming to develop high-tech, advanced and environmentally friendly industries. On that basis, in recent times, the district has mobilized all resources for synchronous investment, focusing on completing connecting traffic infrastructure and technical infrastructure within industrial parks and industrial clusters.

Specifically, the traffic route connecting Bac Van Yen Industrial Park with Provincial Road 163 is under construction. The district has invested 29.5 billion VND of budget capital to build a road to Dong An Industrial Park. The province's key traffic projects passing through the area such as: the route connecting Nghia Lo with Noi Bai - Lao Cai Expressway, Khanh Hoa - Van Yen Inter-regional Infrastructure Project, An Binh Commune Railway Overpass, Dong An - Gia Hoi Road, the road connecting Provincial Road 163 with Noi Bai - Lao Cai Expressway... are being accelerated in site clearance and construction. Regarding internal infrastructure, although there are still limitations in some industrial parks, the district is making efforts to overcome them.

Up to now, key industrial parks and industrial clusters in the district are gradually taking shape and showing significant investment attraction. Bac Van Yen Industrial Park (55ha) has an impressive occupancy rate of 88.2%, with 6 enterprises leasing land, including 4 projects operating stably and 2 large biomass energy projects of EREX under implementation.

Meanwhile, Dong An Industrial Park (34ha), although its technical infrastructure has not been invested, has also attracted two large projects from the Plant Protection Drug Processing and Packaging Factory Project, Fertilizer Production of BMC Yen Bai Joint Stock Company (capital of 230 billion VND) and the Graphite Ore Processing Factory Project of Yen Bai VPG Mineral Joint Stock Company, bringing the occupancy rate to an estimated 48.37%.

Regarding new industrial parks, Yen Hop Industrial Park (phase 1: 12ha) is in the process of clearing the land and preparing for infrastructure investment with 50 billion VND of budget capital, has attracted the cinnamon processing project of Son Ha Spices Company Limited and the district is focusing on removing obstacles for this project. An Thinh Industrial Park (30ha) also recorded an important step forward when the Kien Phat - Dang Phong Joint Venture was approved for infrastructure investment with a total capital of 350 billion VND.

However, besides the success, Van Yen also faces many difficulties when the industrial parks still do not have investors in technical infrastructure; the lack of capital and infrastructure investment projects makes essential technical works still lack of synchronization, mainly due to enterprises investing by their own capital, leading to difficulties in management and attracting investment; the general technical infrastructure is assessed as incomplete and not up to standard; the site clearance work for some projects is still slow.

To overcome the limitations, Van Yen determined to continue to prioritize the completion of synchronous infrastructure, especially the internal infrastructure of industrial parks. The district proposed that the province consider and balance resources to clear the remaining area (over 23 hectares) and invest in technical infrastructure for Dong An industrial park. In addition, the district will focus on directing drastic solutions to collect budget according to the scenario, speed up the disbursement of public investment capital, and complete the construction of rural roads in the first phase of 2025. At the same time, the district continues to call for and attract infrastructure investment in industrial parks, remove difficulties, support businesses, etc.
