Industrial sites

In addition to the ICs, there are 7 other smaller ICs which are alsocalled industrial sites are operating. In 2015, total turnover of the enterprises in these industrial sites reached VND 386.8 billion, and about  984 jobs were created.

In addition to theachievements, industrial and handicraft production in the district still facethe following difficulties:

- Infrastructure construction did not follow the approved detailed planning, there exist ICs where waste water treatment plants are not constructed and the electrical system is not sufficient.

- Mobilization of enterprises to invest in infrastructure andattraction of enterprises to establish production and trading in ICs aredifficult. Theoccupancy rate in ICs is still low.

- Most enterprises use land effectively and in linewith the committed progress; however, some enterprises still do not use all the land leased or do not operate effectively and causewaste.

- Investment into  Cat Nhon IC does not progress well. Some road sections and bridges on the Highway 19B passing this IC have low weight bearingcapacity; the road surface is narrow road and this has made it inconvenient for transporting material andgoods. On the other hand, land and infrastructure lease price andinfrastructure maintenance cost are still high. Therefore, it has been aconstraint for investors, especially small investors, and also for attractinginvestment into Cat Nhon IC.

- Prices of input material for production increases; borrowing rate  hasdecreased butremains high compared to theprofitability. Access to loans remainsdifficult; purchasing power has decreased.

Phu Cat DPC has asked the PPC to fund for infrastructure construction of seafood processing Cat Khanh IC in order to attract investors seafoodprocessing for export, also to increase the support level for industry promotion in the province in general andin the district in particular.
