A mark that attracts investment.

(Baonghean) - With the advantage of being at the intersection of important transportation systems, close to the sea, and with the infrastructure of industrial zones receiving significant investment and becoming increasingly complete; coupled with dynamic leaders and people, Dien Chau is becoming a destination for domestic and foreign investors. During the 2010-2015 term, Dien Chau made a significant mark in terms of the number of projects attracted and the effectiveness of their implementation in this field.

Effective in making an impression

The most significant project during that term was the Muong Thanh Dien Chau Commercial Hotel Complex. Started two years prior and inaugurated on July 21, 2010, the project celebrated the 19th District Party Congress, term 2010-2015. With a total investment of nearly 300 billion VND, on an area of ​​16 hectares, located in the central area of ​​Phu Dien, the investor had a well-planned business strategy, so the project quickly yielded positive results. Annual revenue increased by 10-15%, reaching 30 billion VND in 2014 and 14.5 billion VND in the first five months of 2015, creating stable jobs for nearly 200 workers with incomes of 3.5 million VND/person/month or more.

Not only has the complete operation of the complex created a highlight and a new look for the urban area, but the application of Muong Thanh Group's motto "Vietnamese people, Vietnamese prices, and Vietnamese style" has also impressed tourists with the image of Phu Dien as a dynamic urban area with hospitable people. Mr. Tran Dai Nghia, Director of the Muong Thanh Dien Chau Commercial Hotel Complex, said: "We are constantly improving the quality of service to meet the needs of tourists and create a lasting impression every time they come to Dien Chau. At the same time, we are continuously connecting tourist destinations within and outside the district, thereby improving business efficiency."

Welcoming guests at Muong Thanh Hotel - Dien Chau.

Besides the highlight of the Muong Thanh Dien Chau Commercial Center and Hotel, the completion of infrastructure in industrial clusters to attract investment has also yielded very good results. It can be said that the practical experience gained during the operation of the Dien Hong small industrial zone a few years ago has provided Dien Chau with valuable lessons regarding environmental management, investment selection, etc. Therefore, the district has implemented stricter regulations in attracting investment, prioritizing clean production businesses that minimize environmental pollution.

The Thap-Hong-Ky small industrial cluster, covering 25 hectares, has completed its infrastructure and attracted 26 businesses, of which 16 have already commenced production. With favorable conditions and incentives provided by the district, the cluster has become a destination for both domestic and foreign investors. Among the operational projects, the largest foreign-invested enterprise is Namsung Vina Garment Company, currently operating at maximum capacity in phase 1, producing nearly 4 million products per year and creating jobs for nearly 1,200 workers.

Mr. Kim-Ju-Man, the company's CEO, stated: "Investing in this area, we have received attention and support from the local government. This year, the company plans to double its capacity to complete phase 2 of the project, creating jobs for over 2,000 workers, thus making a positive contribution to the socio-economic development of the locality." Also in the Thap-Hong-Ky industrial cluster, Thanh Phat Industrial Co., Ltd. is a newly established domestic enterprise. While its initial investment wasn't large, on a leased land area of ​​over 1 hectare, the company has already developed a long-term strategic plan for its investment phases and its product launch strategy.

In the field of agricultural, forestry, and aquatic product processing, a project of great significance is the establishment and operation of the SURI Vietnam-China Factory in Dien Hung commune. Although the investment capital is only over 40 billion VND, thanks to the selection of advanced technology for drying fish using steam and separating fat during processing, the company's products meet export standards. In 2014, export volume reached 7,707 tons, bringing in export revenue of 10.2 million USD. It is projected that export revenue will reach 12 million USD in 2015. Besides creating significant export value and providing stable employment for 100 workers, the factory's crucial role is purchasing products from fishermen at high and stable prices, encouraging them to venture further out to sea and firmly protect the sovereignty of the nation's maritime territory. Mr. Le Thai, the company's director, shared: "To ensure a stable supply of raw materials for processing capacity, the company is constantly expanding its raw material purchasing agents to provinces in the North and South, increasing export value and creating conditions to support fishermen."

That's just a very small number compared to the hundreds of businesses operating in the area. In terms of attracting investment, implementing the Resolution of the District Party Congress from 2010 to the present, Dien Chau has attracted 9 investment projects with a total registered capital of nearly 1,500 billion VND, of which over 1,000 billion VND has been implemented, creating jobs for over 4,500 workers and contributing an average of over 50 billion VND to the state budget. Thanks to these investment projects operating effectively, they have contributed positively to the rapid growth rate of the industrial and handicraft sector, reaching over 16% annually, accounting for 35-36% of the total, achieving the targets set by the Congress.

Areas of strength

It can be said that during the 2010-2015 term, to achieve "landmark" results in the field of industrial and handicraft development and investment attraction, Dien Chau proactively made this field one of the district's key programs and projects, with specific steps and roadmaps for each period. As a result, the number of investment projects registered in the area increased rapidly, especially those in areas where the district has strengths, such as: projects in the fields of trade, services, and tourism; garment manufacturing, seafood processing, etc. Besides projects already in operation in the fields of agricultural, forestry, and fisheries production and consumer goods, there are quite a few large-scale investment projects in the fields of trade, services, tourism, and urban development with a total registered capital of thousands of billions of VND, such as: the 12-hectare commercial and residential center project in Dien Thanh; the 35-hectare Dien Ky integrated urban and commercial service area project; The project involves the construction of the Dai Duong Commercial, Service and Residential Complex in Dien Hong commune...

In particular, the high-end eco-resort project in Dien Lam by Muong Thanh Group, with a total registered capital of over 1,000 billion VND on an area of ​​290 hectares, has commenced some construction items since the beginning of 2015 and is currently building items according to the plan. This will open up new prospects for Dien Chau district in attracting investment. Mr. Chu The Huyen, Chairman of the District People's Committee, said: “In addition to the district implementing support mechanisms and accompanying businesses in the process of completing investment licensing procedures and resolving issues arising during operation, the district continues to mobilize resources to build infrastructure in industrial clusters that have been approved in the planning, continue to create more favorable conditions for investors, publicly disclose the list of priority investment projects and sectors, and encourage the development of product brands for businesses to develop sustainably.”

Thus, it can be seen that with an open mindset supporting businesses, and with the outstanding advantages mentioned above, it is believed that in the coming time, Dien Chau will continue to be a destination for investors. The effectiveness of investment projects will contribute positively to accelerating and significantly increasing the speed of economic restructuring, maintaining the district's position among the top districts in the province.
