The whole province has 149/193 communes recognized as meeting new rural standards, 5 district-level units meeting new rural standards.
In particular, from a purely agricultural province, Quang Nam now has Chu Lai Open Economic Zone with the largest automobile manufacturing and assembly center and mechanical industry in the country; Chu Lai airport has been put into effective operation and is planned to become a 4F international airport, and a seaport planned to be class 1 to receive 50,000-ton ships.
