The Nam Pleiku Industrial Park, approved by the Prime Minister under Decision No. 1118/QĐ-TTg dated September 3, 2019, has officially begun construction on its first infrastructure components.
According to project management, initial delays were caused by complex legal procedures. However, after nearly a year of resolving administrative and legal issues, the park has now recorded its first deposit agreements — a strong indication of investor confidence.
Among the notable investors are:
-
Vuong Dinh Investment Co., Ltd., specializing in agricultural product processing, coffee production, agricultural machinery, and fertilizers (leasing 30 hectares);
-
Hoang Anh Gia Lai JSC (17 hectares);
-
Quy Nhon Port JSC (10 hectares);
-
Tam Ba Manufacturing & Trading Co., Ltd., investing 8 hectares to build a coffee powder and instant coffee processing plant.
In total, six investors signed deposit agreements on August 7, 2020, marking a significant step toward full-scale construction activities within the year.
Accelerating Infrastructure Construction
Following directions from Gia Lai Province and the Vietnam Rubber Group (VRG), the project’s investor — Chu Se Rubber Co., Ltd. (a VRG member company) — has mobilized resources to expedite infrastructure development and launch construction on schedule.
Initial infrastructure works now underway include:
-
Mine and UXO clearance,
-
Drainage systems D1, D2, D5 (total length 1,061 meters connecting to National Highway 14),
-
Primary roads with completed ground leveling and compaction,
-
Rainwater drainage canals, and
-
The wastewater treatment system, currently under accelerated construction.
These efforts ensure readiness for the upcoming phases involving industrial roads, lighting, telecommunications, water, and power systems, scheduled for implementation by September 2020.
Mr. Tran Ngoc Loc emphasized that infrastructure construction will proceed in parallel with investors’ factory development timelines, ensuring optimal efficiency and synchronized progress.
Proposals and Support from Local Authorities
To further attract investors, Mr. Loc proposed that VRG and Gia Lai Province continue to work closely on:
-
Land rent incentives to improve competitiveness;
-
Approval for traffic connection between the industrial park and the Ho Chi Minh Highway;
-
Permission to construct infrastructure concurrently with investors’ factory projects.
At the signing ceremony, Mr. Pham Duy Muon, General Director of Chu Se Rubber Co., Ltd., expressed optimism about the park’s future:
“We believe that the Nam Pleiku Industrial Park will become an attractive investment destination for domestic and international enterprises. Once operational, the park will generate thousands of jobs — particularly for ethnic minority workers in Chu Se, Chu Prong, and neighboring districts — and contribute significantly to the province’s socio-economic development.”
Driving Economic Development in the Central Highlands
Located in Gia Lai Province within Vietnam’s Central Highlands, Nam Pleiku IP is expected to play a key role in transforming the region’s economic structure. By integrating rubber land conversion, agro-processing, and industrial manufacturing, the park will become a sustainable growth hub that enhances both employment and local revenue.
