Many large investors seek opportunities in Ca Mau

Ca Mau province received and worked with representatives of SK Group (Korea), led by Vice Chairman of SK Group Kim Nam Ho, to learn about and propose cooperation with Vietnam in general and Ca Mau province in particular to implement energy solutions combined with the development of key industries such as: investing in LNG infrastructure in the Mekong Delta region, taking Ca Mau province as the center to combine the development of potential cooperation projects related to AI Data Center, Hydro-energy, high-tech agriculture and logistics. In particular, the Industrial Cluster - Specialized Energy for Agriculture in Ca Mau will be built. At the same time, it is proposed to establish an integrated agricultural center for purchasing, storing and processing goods; multi-purpose energy station; offshore gas storage facility.

Reviewing slow-moving projects
Projects with non-budgetary investment capital are slow to be implemented in Ca Mau province with 87 projects.
After merging Ca Mau and Bac Lieu provinces; the Department of Finance of Ca Mau province coordinated with departments, branches and localities to implement and urge the progress of projects outside the budget to be implemented slowly in the province. Request investors to conduct investment monitoring and evaluation reports for investment projects using non-budgetary capital to ensure compliance with regulations.

On August 7, the People's Committee of Ca Mau province established a Working Group to review projects in inspection, examination conclusions, and judgments with difficulties and problems in Ca Mau province to continue reviewing and handling projects to ensure compliance with Conclusion No. 77-KL/TW dated May 2, 2024 of the Politburo and Resolution No. 170/2024/QH15 dated November 30, 2024 of the National Assembly; the direction of Steering Committee 751 in Document No. 117/CV-BCD751 dated August 5, 2025.
Most projects with non-public investment capital that are facing difficulties have been identified as having problems with compensation and site clearance. Many projects are not subject to state land acquisition according to the provisions of the law on land, so investors have to implement compensation agreements with households, leading to prolonged projects, delays in progress, and loss of opportunities to generate profits for businesses.

Some policies have changed a lot, so the research and implementation of some businesses, especially small and medium enterprises, is facing many difficulties due to the lack of legal departments of businesses, so it is still confusing; sometimes not implemented in a timely manner.
Weather conditions and natural disasters tend to appear frequently, so production implementation is facing many difficulties, especially in the aquaculture sector of enterprises; some units have temporarily suspended operations or organized activities while waiting for favorable weather to organize large-scale production. A few investors still have limited financial capacity and unsecured access to credit capital, leading to slow or unable project investment implementation.
From these realities, Ca Mau is gradually removing difficulties for businesses to attract investment in a practical, effective and fair manner among investors, avoiding wasting land and projects.
According to the Department of Finance of Ca Mau province, up to now, the whole province of Ca Mau (after the merger) has attracted 680 projects, of which: 651 domestic projects, total registered capital of VND 215,447.518 billion and 29 FDI projects, total registered capital of USD 4.8715 billion equivalent to VND 113,229 billion.
