Construction projects valued at $200 million set to commence in Gia Lai this month
Gia Lai Province's Economic Transformation: The Phu My Industrial Park and AI-Powered Agro-Forestry Complex
Gia Lai Province is set to undergo significant economic and industrial development with the commencement of two major projects, the Phu My Industrial Park and the AI-powered agro-forestry complex. These projects, with a combined investment of over VND5 trillion, aim to transform Gia Lai into a modern industrial and logistics hub, promoting local socio-economic growth.
Phu My Industrial Park: A National-Level Project
Spanning 820 hectares, with Phase 1 covering 436.87 hectares in Phu My Dong commune, the Phu My Industrial Park is a national-level planned project anticipated to operate through 2030, with a long-term vision to 2050. The park focuses on diverse industries such as energy equipment manufacturing, metallurgy, mechanical engineering, plastics, electronics, software development, and communication technology, fostering industrial diversification and modernization.
Phu My Port, directly connected to the industrial park, covers approximately 205 hectares (including 60 hectares land and 145 hectares sea surface). The port is designed to serve as a vital logistics and transport hub, facilitating the movement of goods and raw materials for the industrial zone. Expected to be operational by 2028, the port is forecasted to handle 3.8 to 4.4 million tons of cargo annually by 2030, boosting the region’s maritime logistics and inter-regional connectivity.
AI-Powered Agro-Forestry Complex: Sustainable Growth
While specific details about the AI-powered agro-forestry complex are not yet available, it is expected to enhance agricultural productivity and sustainable forestry management, contributing to increased economic outputs from the province’s natural resources while aligning with industrial growth. The complex, located in Tây Sơn Commune and covering an area of 10 hectares, will likely leverage AI-powered plantation management and blockchain-based product traceability.
Employment Opportunities and Investment Attraction
The integration of the industrial park with a major port is expected to create substantial employment opportunities, with local labor prioritized and supported by vocational training policies to enhance workforce skills relevant to local industries. This will stimulate the local economy, increase industrial output, and boost Gia Lai's position in regional and national supply chains.
The projects are expected to attract both domestic and foreign investment, with the industrial park constructing and operating infrastructure to meet production development needs. The park will also integrate trade promotion activities and business support services, fostering the formation of large-scale industrial production chains.
A Strategic Move for Long-Term Growth
Together, these developments represent a strategic move by Gia Lai province to attract investment, improve infrastructure, and nurture industrial sectors. The projects are expected to contribute to significant economic restructuring, enhancing industrial production value, and increasing local budget revenues. They are also expected to improve the value of local products and uphold Gia Lai's position on Vietnam's industrial and agro-processing map.
The Phu My Industrial Park and Port will significantly enhance Gia Lai's industrial capacity, logistics connectivity, and employment, while the AI-powered agro-forestry complex would likely complement this by driving sustainable agricultural and forestry sector growth. Collectively, these projects aim to boost the province's economy and industrial ecosystem, positioning Gia Lai for long-term economic growth and industrial modernization.
