Vietnam's Hà Tĩnh and Tây Ninh provinces launch new investment‑attraction plans

In Hà Tĩnh province, local authorities are revising the spatial development plan for the mountainous Sơn Tây commune to make it more visible to investors. The revised scheme shifts focus from traditional forest and timber economies to high‑value crops such as medicinal plants and tea, designating specific raw‑material zones and encouraging the conversion of some forest land to timber and specialty trees. Over 550 ha of medicinal‑plant seedlings have already been planted, and the commune aims for a 369‑ton tea harvest in early 2026, supported by infrastructure upgrades and community benefits.

Meanwhile, Tây Ninh province is leveraging its border location and active foreign‑policy outreach to draw investment. Between 2023 and mid‑2026 the province expects about 2,041 projects with a total registered capital exceeding $25.6 billion, and export value is projected to rise from $23.9 billion in 2023 to $31.4 billion in 2025. International firms such as Dutch livestock group De Heus plan to scale up high‑tech poultry, pork and chicken production, while a series of 13 joint projects worth roughly VND 13.1 trillion target modern, circular agriculture. The province has also signed cooperation agreements with 17 foreign municipalities, expanding its trade and investment network.
