Khanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee said it has developed a plan to develop industry and trade in Khanh Hoa province until 2025 and the period 2026 - 2030.

The notable point of this plan is that Khanh Hoa province will maximize its advantages with the provinces in the Central Highlands when the Khanh Hoa - Buon Ma Thuot Expressway Construction Investment Project Phase 1 and the North - South Expressway Construction Investment Project in the East Phase 2021 - 2025 (Van Phong - Nha Trang section) are completed.

According to the Khanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee, when these projects are completed, the network will create a driving force for development between Khanh Hoa and Dak Lak, between the Central Highlands and the South Central region, with the main connection point located in Van Phong Economic Zone due to its favorable location in terms of deep-water ports.

At that time, goods from the provinces of the Central Highlands and South Central Coast will be concentrated at seaports in Van Phong Bay to export to countries in the region and the world as well as import goods from abroad.

Along with that, Khanh Hoa province will coordinate with localities in the region to strictly implement regional planning, comply with spatial allocation, avoid overlapping investment causing waste and effectively exploit the advantages of the whole region and the comparative advantages of the province in economic development in general and industrial development in particular. At the same time, Khanh Hoa province will propose to the Government to give stronger authority to localities to coordinate and build appropriate mechanisms so that coordination does not affect the overall economic development of the whole region in general and of the province in particular.

At the same time, Khanh Hoa province will strengthen the connection between enterprises in the province and manufacturing enterprises of localities in the North Central and Central Coast regions according to each industry and each type of product; promote market research and trade promotion with neighboring provinces such as Ninh Thuan, Lam Dong, Dak Lak, Phu Yen.

Recently, Khanh Hoa province has developed a plan to develop logistics services in the province until 2025. Accordingly, Khanh Hoa province will develop logistics services into an important economic sector of the province. The locality will focus on developing general ports, specialized for large-capacity ships in Van Phong and Cam Ranh, creating a driving force to promote the economy of the South Central and Central Highlands regions.

Accordingly, Cam Ranh International Port will develop into a large logistics service center of the province, the South Central and Central Highlands regions, as well as the whole country, and build an international transit port in Van Phong Economic Zone, capable of receiving container ships with a capacity of up to 24,000 TEU.

Khanh Hoa province calls for and promotes investment in logistics service projects according to approved planning to develop logistics infrastructure, apply new technology in developing logistics services, enhance human resource training, and support businesses to develop logistics in a modern and professional direction.

According to the People's Committee of Khanh Hoa province, the development of logistics services in Khanh Hoa province by 2025 will also actively contribute to improving the business environment, cutting costs, and enhancing competitiveness in providing logistics services in Khanh Hoa province.
