Gia Lai removes obstacles and promotes the development of industrial ecosystem

DNVN – Gia Lai province is focusing on removing obstacles in infrastructure, land and investment procedures, aiming to create a breakthrough in attracting businesses, improving infrastructure and forming a sustainable industrial ecosystem in the new period.

On October 9, Chairman of Gia Lai Provincial People's Committee Pham Anh Tuan chaired a meeting on investment activities in industrial parks and clusters (IPs) in the area, to comprehensively assess the progress of industrial development and orientate solutions to outstanding difficulties.

The Cat Hanh Industrial Cluster Project (Hoa Hoi Commune, Gia Lai Province), invested by Saigon - Nhon Hoi Industrial Park Joint Stock Company, has just started construction at the end of August 2025.

According to the planning of Gia Lai province for the period 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050, the whole province has 99 industrial clusters with a total area of ​​over 5,400 hectares, an average of 55 hectares per industrial cluster. To date, the province has established 62 industrial clusters with a total area of ​​over 2,400 hectares, of which 46 clusters have come into operation with an occupancy rate of 82%.

In the first 9 months of 2025 alone, Gia Lai has established 2 new industrial parks, expanded 4 industrial parks, and attracted 10 enterprises to invest in technical infrastructure - exceeding the set plan. The industrial parks currently have 338 projects in operation, including 25 new projects with a total investment capital of more than 750 billion VND, creating jobs for about 26,000 workers. Production and business activities at the industrial parks contribute about 20% of the province's industrial production value and 35% of the province's export turnover.

Regarding industrial parks (IPs), the province aims to attract 45 projects with a total capital of about VND22,500 billion in 2025. To date, 4 IPs have attracted 19 projects (achieving 42% of the plan) with a total registered capital of more than VND28,000 billion - equivalent to 133% of the capital target. Of which, there are 5 foreign direct investment (FDI) projects with a total capital of about USD1.1 billion. Phu Tai and Long My IPs have filled their areas, affirming their position as bright spots in the province's industrial development.

In addition to the achieved results, investment activities in industrial parks and industrial clusters still face many difficulties, such as problems in converting forest land, rice land, and reforestation; compensation and site clearance progress is still slow, affecting technical infrastructure and investment attraction capacity. Some infrastructure projects are not synchronized, lacking traffic connections and ancillary services.

At the meeting, business representatives recommended that the province continue to support investment promotion, enhance image promotion in potential foreign markets, and have specific preferential policies on land, credit and high-quality human resources.

Vice Chairman of Gia Lai Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Tu Cong Hoang affirmed that the province always creates the best conditions for businesses, especially in investing in connecting traffic infrastructure and removing administrative procedures. He suggested that investors should promote a proactive spirit, speed up the completion of internal infrastructure, and at the same time increase the attraction of quality projects, focusing on environmental protection for sustainable development.

In his concluding remarks, Chairman of Gia Lai Provincial People's Committee Pham Anh Tuan emphasized that the province has been making every effort to provide maximum support to investors, with the view of focusing on industrial development in concentrated zones and clusters to ensure effective management, meeting technical and environmental criteria. In the next 5 years, the province will spend over 200,000 billion VND to invest in developing socio -economic infrastructure, with strong priority given to industrial infrastructure.

The Chairman of Gia Lai province requested departments, branches and localities to focus on removing difficulties and promoting administrative procedure reform in the spirit of “fast – clear – accurate”. Relevant agencies need to guide investors to properly implement regulations on land, land prices, mining of materials, fire prevention and fighting and labor safety.

To increase management efficiency, the province requires monthly reports on project progress and quarterly meetings with industrial zones and clusters to resolve problems. The province will evaluate investors based on three key criteria: financial capacity, occupancy capacity and investment attraction quality.

In the coming time, Gia Lai province will devote resources to investing in developing socio-economic infrastructure, with strong priority given to industrial infrastructure.

For old industrial zones and clusters, the Chairman of Gia Lai province requested a review according to 5 criteria of infrastructure and investment efficiency. By the end of 2025, the province will evaluate and revoke projects that do not meet the requirements. For new zones and clusters, the Economic Zone Management Board and the Department of Industry and Trade are assigned to preside over the selection of investors, accompany in site clearance and guide the implementation of infrastructure according to the committed schedule.

Mr. Pham Anh Tuan affirmed his desire to build a "Gia Lai industrial ecosystem" - where the government, businesses and people enjoy development benefits together.

“Gia Lai province hopes that investors will come with a spirit of cooperation, enthusiasm and responsibility, to jointly create a new industrial face, contributing to making Gia Lai a dynamic economic center of the Central Highlands region,” Chairman Gia Lai emphasized.
