Tay Ninh – The region’s new growth driver

The province stands out for its growth in industrial production, high-tech agriculture, trade, and tourism, while serving as a strategic international gateway for Southeast Vietnam. It connects production, consumption, and logistics flows between the Mekong Delta and the Southeast region, reinforcing its role as a vital trade corridor.
In recent years, Tay Ninh has leveraged its advantages to boost commercial growth and services by enhancing the quality and effectiveness of trade promotion activities, strengthening business linkages, and tapping both domestic and export markets. The province has actively fostered partnerships to expand distribution channels, support enterprises in supply–demand matching, brand development, and market expansion.

He emphasized the port’s strategic role in directly linking Vietnam into global supply chains, providing end-to-end logistics solutions, and creating value through reduced delivery lead times, lower operational risks, optimized costs, and enhanced competitiveness in international markets.
“As Tay Ninh continues to advance its industries, the Mekong Delta leverages its flourishing agricultural and aquatic output, and Long An International Port strengthens its role as the gateway of the Southeast, our connectivity will establish strategic pillars of development, boost regional growth, and support Vietnam’s Strategy for the Development of Logistics Services to 2030 with a vision to 2050, advancing a logistics sector that is sustainable, efficient, high quality, and internationally connected,” Mr. Huy said.
