Attracting investment to foster agricultural growth

ĐBP - In its socio-economic orientation, Điện Biên province has identified agriculture as a vital pillar that serves as the foundation for ensuring social security and driving sustainable growth.

By leveraging local advantages in land and climate, the provincial agricultural sector is steadily shifting toward centralized, green, and smart production that adapts to climate change. Realizing this goal requires a strategic breakthrough in attracting agricultural investment to create new development momentum. Following a clear assessment of regional potential, the Executive Board of the provincial Party Committee issued Resolution No.11-NQ/TU regarding agricultural restructuring for the 2026-2030 period, with a vision toward 2035. The province intends to transition from fragmented, small-scale production to large-scale operations that link farming with processing, preservation, and consumption through value chains. Within this framework, enterprises and investors are regarded as the “locomotives” of the restructuring process, leading the province to proactively develop a portfolio of projects calling for investment in raw material areas and high-tech applications.

To concretize these resolutions, the province has implemented synchronized and resolute solutions to improve the business investment environment. The focus remains on perfecting incentive mechanisms and policies for projects in agriculture and rural areas, particularly concerning land use, taxes, infrastructure support, and credit access. Administrative reforms have been accelerated to shorten processing times and facilitate surveys for businesses. Significant investment has also been poured into upgrading production infrastructure, such as transportation, irrigation, and power systems, to reduce costs and increase attractiveness for investors. These efforts have yielded positive shifts, with over 40 agricultural projects currently attracted to the province. Several high-tech projects that integrate production with processing have already proven effective, creating jobs and raising local incomes.

Điện Biên province is actively expanding centralized macadamia areas and attracting deep processing investment to ensure sustainable outlets. In the photo: Residents of Quài Tở commune tending to macadamia trees.

With over 5,000 hectares of rubber currently in the harvest cycle, the province has established a large and stable raw material zone. This advantage helped Điện Biên attract the Điện Biên Rubber Joint Stock Company to invest in a latex processing plant in Thanh Nưa commune. Completed in December 2025 after nine months of construction, the factory has a design capacity of 5,000 tons per year and guarantees the purchase of all local rubber products while creating stable employment for the community.

Similarly, the potential for macadamia is expanding rapidly, with over 12,000 hectares currently planted and a target of 40,000 hectares by 2030. In early January 2026, TH Group proposed a 5-hectare macadamia processing plant in Tuần Giáo commune to facilitate deep processing and secure raw materials for local farmers. The provincial People’s Committee has directed relevant departments to coordinate closely with the investor to ensure the project stays on schedule, which is expected to significantly enhance value addition for the province.

In the livestock sector, Điện Biên is actively inviting strategic investors to survey and implement high-tech projects. The province recently worked with Mavin Group, one of the top ten large FDI enterprises in Vietnam’s agricultural sector, to research a high-tech agricultural complex in Chiềng Sinh commune. This project, with an expected capital investment between VND 400 billion and VND 450 billion across 200 to 250 hectares, includes a feed mill, agricultural processing, organic fertilizer production, and a pig breeding center using environmentally friendly technology.

Concurrently, Tuần Giáo commune is coordinating with Tuần Giáo High-Tech Livestock and Agriculture Joint Stock Company to deploy a VND 300 billion farm project in Củ village, which is expected to launch in 2026 and provide stable jobs for approximately 200 workers. These results reaffirm the province’s correct direction in agricultural development, and Điện Biên remains committed to administrative reform and supporting businesses to build a foundation for rapid and sustainable socio-economic growth.
