The Prime Minister has approved an overall development scheme for Nam Can Economic Zone (EZ) in the southernmost province of Ca Mau by 2030.
The EZ covers over 10,000 hectares along National Highway 1A running through Nam Can town, and Ham Rong, Hang Vinh and Dat Moi communes.
Under the plan, Nam Can will be a multi-sector economic zone divided into chains of urban and non-tariff areas.
It is designed to be an international trade exchange centre of the province and the Mekong Delta in general with major industries such as mechanics, shipbuilding, electronics, garments and textiles, financial service, ecotourism, telecommunications, and seafood processing, among others.
The EZ is now home to more than 34,000 people. The figure is expected to increase to 45,000 by 2020 and 90,000 by 2030.
