This symbiotic relationship will also be somewhat shaped in the near future when at the conference announcing the Quang Nam Provincial Planning in March 2024, THACO's representative said that the Central Highlands, along with Laos and Cambodia, is one of three large-scale crop material regions associated with mechanization and industrial management, forming an agricultural value chain to ensure regular export of goods through Chu Lai port.
