The location of 3 industrial zones in Can Tho is proposed to be adjusted

Basis for CEPIZA to adjust the planning position of the above 3 industrial zones is, since the City. Can Tho has becomea first-class city directly under the Central Government, so the land price in urban districts fluctuates rapidly every year. The Can Tho Industrial Zones are located in the districts and close to residential areas and residential houses in the industrial zone planning, which increases the cost of compensation to investors, resulting in a very high rental price of land, 3 times compared to the rental prices in industrial zones in neighboring provinces. Because of its location in the district - an area with favorable socio-economic conditions, these industrial zones are not entitled to preferential corporate income tax asprescribed.

Meanwhile, currently the district of CanTho enjoys preferential corporate income tax; The land price is relatively low, only 1/3 of the urban districts, so the location of the industrial park is far away from the urban area so that the compensation cost is low, the land sublease price will be more competitive. In addition, the location of the new industrial park is located next to highways and open roads with good infrastructure, which will facilitate the circulation of goods of businesses, easier to attract investment; create conditions for rural development and direct and indirect employment creation for local laborers.
