Therefore, many investors come to invest in industrial parks, stimulate real estate projects in industrial parks to welcome the wave of investment attraction,

Investment efficiency in export processing zones and industry also has many positive changes.


Specifically, the investment rate per hectare in 2022 will reach $7.17 million/ha, an increase of 20% compared to the average investment per hectare of export processing zones and industrial parks.


However, the current difficulty is that the land fund to attract investment is still limited, there is a lack of large land funds for investment attraction because the existing industrial parks are gradually filling up or there are problems in determining the land rental price for the state.


Many industrial parks have not yet signed land lease contracts with the State for the completed area of land clearance compensation or have not completed compensation and site clearance, in addition, some new industrial parks are slow to deploy.
