Dak Nong lies in the southwest exit of the Central Highlands, linking with HoChi Minh City and the southeastern region via highway 14, and Lam Dong andcentral coastal provinces via highway 28. It shares a borderline of 13 km andtwo border-gates with Cambodia.
It has over 120,000 ha grown with coffee, 32,900 ha with pepper plants, over2,600 ha with avocado, and over 7,000 ha with sweet potato.
The province has two operating industrial zones covering a total land of 327.5ha, and the over 800-ha Nhan Co 2 industrial zone which is being planned.
It has adopted policies for hi-tech agriculture and aluminum processingindustry, and completed a dossier on Dak Nong geopark for submission toUNESCO’s recognition as a global geopark.
In 2018, Dak Nong posted a GRDP growth rate of 8.21 percent with average incomeper capita reaching 45.24 million VND, and collected over 2.3 trillion VND forthe State budget.
With such advantageous strengths and potential, Dak Nong wishes to draw more bigeconomic groups to invest in the locality.
PM Phuc said DakNong should increase the growing of avocado, pepper, coffee, passion fruit, andmacca trees given its 650,000 ha of fertile land. Investors need to worktogether with local people to promote the development of hi-tech and organicagriculture to raise the added value of products.
For tourism, the province should tap tangible and intangible heritages of over40 ethnic groups residing there and mild weather, he said.
