New space - new momentum driven from land resources

After administrative boundary arrangement, the Southeast region currently has 3 localities, including Ho Chi Minh City, Dong Nai, and Tay Ninh. Among them, Dong Nai province boasts the largest natural area, with over 12.7 thousand s.q.km. This is not only a valuable resource but also an important foundation for the province to implement development strategies in both breadth and depth in a synchronized and effective manner.

The advantage of abundant and diverse land allows the province to restructure land use planning in a more systematic and scientific way, serving balanced development among sectors: industry, agriculture, urban, services; while ensuring a harmonious balance between economic growth and environmental protection. For example, in the key strength sector of industry, the large land area is a prerequisite for the province to form large-scale industrial parks and clusters with modern infrastructure, meeting the requirements for attracting domestic and international investment. In agriculture, owning over 80% of the total natural land area is the basis for building specialized farming areas, applying high technology to improve productivity and quality, serving domestic and export markets.

Land is not only a resource but also a special asset, playing a decisive role in the socio-economic development of each locality. However, possessing advantages alone is not enough; the challenge lies in exploiting and using it effectively, sustainably, and in the right direction to truly make Dong Nai a dynamic growth center of the Southeast region and the whole country.

Currently, the province is reviewing and adjusting planning and land use indicators for each sector and field to suit the administrative boundaries and the 2-tier local government model after the merger. The goal is to create room for socio-economic development associated with national defense, security, and international integration. In addition, Dong Nai is one of the pioneering localities to propose that the Government allow the pilot implementation of new development models such as: concentrated information technology parks, free trade zones around Long Thanh International Airport to maximize the advantages of space and location.

New space will open up new momentum. From the foundation of abundant land resources, strategic location, ongoing key projects, along with strategic vision and innovative thinking, flexible adaptation, Dong Nai province is gradually asserting its role as one of the most dynamically developing localities in the region, aiming to reach regional and global levels.

Initially, for this resource to become a driving force for the double-digit economic growth target this year and in the following years, the province will accelerate the implementation of projects that generate direct and sustainable revenue from land such as: establishing new industrial parks; developing urban areas, high-tech agricultural zones; diversifying logistics services and completing a modern transportation infrastructure network.
