In recent times, Quang Tri province has promoted investment in infrastructure construction and development of industrial clusters (ICs) to attract enterprises to invest in industrial and handicraft development in localities, especially in rural areas. The establishment of ICs has contributed to shifting the economic and labor structure, creating jobs on the spot; at the same time, overcoming the situation of dispersed production, facilitating environmental management and control. However, up to now, the total investment capital for the construction of IC infrastructure has only met about 35.6% of the total capital demand for technical infrastructure investment in ICs in the whole province.

According to the design capacity, the production capacity is 1,500,000 m2 of carton products/month. After completing the procedures and implementing the construction of the factory at Hai Le Industrial Park, the enterprise always receives the attention and support of departments, branches and local authorities in informing and disseminating current policies and sources of industrial promotion capital, while creating conditions for enterprises to enjoy preferential policies of the State, reduce land rent, and connect to expand the product consumption market.
Mr. Nguyen Sy Thang, Director of Quang Tri Carton Packaging Joint Stock Company said: "In the near future, the company will continue to expand the production scale of the factory at Hai Le Industrial Park; in which, it will carry out procedures to apply for land lease to propose building more factories, investing in machinery to develop production and business activities".
In Cam Lo district, there are 3 industrial parks and 1 multi-industry trade - service cluster with detailed planning approved, total area of 216.53 ha. These industrial parks have attracted 61 investment projects with a total registered investment capital of 2,784.65 billion VND; total implemented capital is about 1,256.07 billion VND, creating jobs for nearly 1,500 workers. In particular, there have been a number of large-scale investment projects in the district such as Camel Beer Factory of TTC International Beer Joint Stock Company; An Thai Tapioca Starch Factory; Tien Phong Cam Lo Laminated Board Factory...
In Decision No. 1737/QD-TTg dated December 29, 2023 of the Prime Minister on approving the Planning of Quang Tri province for the period 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050, the industrial park development plan in the province includes 25 industrial parks with a total area of 899.15 hectares.
According to the report of the Department of Industry and Trade, there are currently 16 industrial parks in the province that have come into operation, achieving an average occupancy rate of 61.1%; attracting 175 investment projects with a total registered capital of about 4,680 billion VND, of which about 2,237 billion VND has been invested in construction. In the period of 2021 - estimated to 2024, the average revenue of enterprises in the industrial parks will reach nearly 3,000 billion VND, contributing to the budget an estimated over 60 billion VND (71 billion VND in 2023 alone), creating jobs for nearly 6,000 workers with an average income of about 5-7 million VND/worker/month.
In recent years, the provincial budget has made efforts to balance capital sources to arrange investment in building industrial park infrastructure, however, the allocated capital is still small, not meeting the actual needs. Up to now, the total investment cost for building industrial park infrastructure is 262 billion VND, meeting about 35.6% of the total capital demand for technical infrastructure investment in industrial parks, of which the state budget capital is about 243.6 billion VND, the remaining capital from other sources is about 18.3 billion VND.
On July 23, 2020, the Provincial People's Council issued Resolution No. 39/2020/NQ-HDND promulgating the Program to support investment in technical infrastructure of industrial clusters in the province for the period 2021-2025, with a support level of no more than 15 billion VND/cluster. This is the basis for allocating medium-term public investment capital for the period 2021-2025 of the province.
However, in Resolution No. 137/NQ-HDND dated August 30, 2021 of the Provincial People's Council on the medium-term public investment plan from local budget capital for the period 2021-2025 of the province, the total provincial budget capital allocated for investment in the construction of industrial park infrastructure in the whole province is only 27.8 billion VND.
With the current situation that local funding sources are still limited while the requirements for meeting the conditions for industrial park infrastructure before attracting investment projects are increasingly enhanced, industrial parks are mainly invested from the state budget, so adjusting the level of support for investment in building industrial park technical infrastructure in Resolution No. 39/2020/NQ-HDND of the Provincial People's Council is extremely necessary, in accordance with practical requirements, creating a basis for districts, towns and cities to build and propose the allocation of medium-term public investment capital for investment in developing industrial park infrastructure in the period of 2026-2030.
Currently, implementing the direction of the Provincial People's Committee, the Department of Industry and Trade is presiding over and coordinating with relevant agencies and units to advise on the development of a Resolution regulating investment support policies for the construction of technical infrastructure for industrial parks in the province (replacing Resolution No. 39/2020/NQ-HDND of the Provincial People's Council) to submit to the Provincial People's Council for consideration and decision to ensure the development of industrial parks in accordance with the development orientation of the Provincial Planning approved by the Prime Minister.
At the same time, gradually complete technical items at industrial parks to attract investment and solve environmental problems; contribute to building new rural areas and developing local socio-economy.
