Bac Lieu calls for more investment

Southern Bac Lieu Province is seeking foreign and domestic investment for key projects such as agricultural infrastructure development.

Other initiatives include upgrading the Ganh Hao-Bac Lieu seaport, expected to cost VND600 billion (US$28.6 million) and the establishment of high-tech agricultural production zones valued at over VND1.36 trillion ($65 million).

The province had offered a series of incentives for investors including land rental and corporate income tax exemptions or reductions as well as support in labour training, said the deputy head of the provincial Trade, Investment and Tourism Promotion Centre Nguyen Quoc Nam.
