It also asked for the implementation of more drastic measures to improve the provincial competitiveness index, he added.

At the same time, the province has accelerated the formation of four industrial clusters, namely Sa Binh in Tra Vinh city, Tan Ngai in Chau Thanh district, Phu Can in Tieu Can district, and Hiep My Tay in Cau Ngang district.

Total area of the four clusters is nearly 144 hectares. Currently, the province is carrying out ground clearance and calling for investment in them.

Lam said thatthe province’s nine-month investment attraction saw good results as it lured large-scale projects and those in prioritized sectors, especially agriculture and rural areas.

Currently, Tra Vinh is now home to 344 valid projects, including 41 foreign-invested ones with a total capital of nearly 3.1 billion USD./.
