Striving to develop 66 industrial clusters
On July 2nd, the Office of Dong Thap Provincial People's Committee said that Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Thanh Dieu has just signed the Plan to Implement the Development of Industrial Clusters in the province in the period 2026 - 2030, with a vision to 2050. According to the plan, by 2030, Dong Thap will develop a total of 66 ICs with a scale of about 3,854.2ha, creating an industrial land fund to serve investment attraction and promote economic restructuring.
Currently, the whole province has 17 CCNs operating with an area of more than 578ha, reaching an average occupancy rate of 71.34%. These CCNs are attracting 126 investment projects, including 17 FDI projects and 109 domestic projects, with a total registered capital of more than 207.9 million USD and 14,481 billion VND, creating jobs for about 34,600 workers.
To effectively exploit the existing land fund, the province sets a goal to complete technical infrastructure at ICs, especially Truong Xuan and Tan Lap ICs, striving to achieve a 100% occupancy rate for all 17 operating ICs before 2027.
Commencement of 5 industrial clusters from the end of 2026
For ICs that are completing investment procedures, Dong Thap will focus on removing difficulties in compensation, site clearance and legal procedures to soon deploy infrastructure construction. According to the plan, 5 key projects are expected to start construction including: Thanh Tan IC (October 2026), Dinh An IC, An Hoa IC and My Phuoc Tay IC (all started construction in December 2026), and Small Industry and Handicraft IC in My Ngai ward (starting construction in March 2027).
In the period 2026 - 2030, the province also sets a target to establish at least 8 new ICs with a scale of about 552ha. The total capital demand for technical infrastructure investment is estimated at about 4,200 billion VND, excluding compensation and site clearance costs. Capital will be mobilized mainly from businesses, cooperatives and economic organizations, combined with state budget sources according to regulations.
With a synchronous development plan, Dong Thap expects to create more quality industrial land funds, improve competitiveness in attracting investment, and create motivation for local industrial and economic development in the coming period.
