Over the past 30 years of investing in Dong Nai, the group has received support from the province in resolving difficulties and obstacles in production and business and Cargill has continuously increased its investment capital in the province
Vice Chairwoman of the provincial People's Committee Nguyen Thi Hoang said that to facilitate foreign investment attraction, the province has established a working group, headed by the committee’s leader.
The working group is tasked with promoting the establishment of new industrial parks to promptly supplement the province's industrial land fund, Hoang told the online newspaper.
