According to the report of the Management Board of Industrial Parks of Son La province, Mai Son Industrial Park, Chieng Mung commune has a total planned area of 150 hectares, currently implementing phase I with an area of 63.7 hectares with 8 valid projects and a total investment capital of about 1,272 billion VND.

Notably, the Mavin Mai Son Livestock and Agricultural Products Processing Factory Complex Project is completing land allocation procedures, expected to start construction on August 19, 2025.
However, Mai Son Industrial Park still has some difficulties and problems that have lasted for many years. Up to now, there are still nearly 18 hectares of land from 2008 that have not been cleared due to lack of resettlement land fund.
In addition, the valuation of water supply, infrastructure services, and environmental licensing for industrial parks is still slow, affecting the overall progress. The road to the industrial park has also degraded and needs to be upgraded and repaired soon.
Mr. Nguyen Thanh Cong - Vice Chairman of Son La Provincial People's Committee said that Mai Son Industrial Park is a key project in the province's industrial development strategy.
"We are determined to resolutely remove existing obstacles, especially regarding site clearance and environmental and land procedures. The province has also directed the proposal to build a 110kV transformer station to ensure a stable power source for the industrial park, striving to basically complete the infrastructure by September 2025 to attract more investors" - Mr. Cong said.
