QUANG NGAI, VIETNAM 2026
Vietnam’s Deep-Sea Industrial, Energy, Central Highlands & Indochina Gateway
TTTFIC GLOBAL INVESTMENT PROFILE 2026 — PROFILE #30
TTTFIC INVESTMENT THESIS
DUNG QUAT DEEP-SEA PORT + DUNG QUAT ECONOMIC ZONE + VSIP + HOA PHAT + OIL REFINING + HEAVY INDUSTRY + ADVANCED MANUFACTURING + INDUSTRIAL PARKS + 64 INDUSTRIAL CLUSTERS + BO Y INTERNATIONAL BORDER GATE + CENTRAL HIGHLANDS + LAOS + CAMBODIA + LOGISTICS + ENERGY + MEDICINAL HERBS + MANG DEN + LY SON
Vietnam has changed. So has its investment map.
The Quang Ngai of 2026 is fundamentally different from the province international investors knew only a few years ago.
Effective July 1, 2025, former Quang Ngai Province and former Kon Tum Province were consolidated into a new, substantially larger Quang Ngai Province.
The new province covers approximately:
14,832.55 KM²
with approximately:
2.16 MILLION PEOPLE
and:
96 COMMUNE-LEVEL ADMINISTRATIVE UNITS
comprising:
86 communes;
9 wards;
Ly Son Special Zone.
But administrative scale alone does not explain the investment significance of the merger.
The new Quang Ngai now stretches from:
THE EAST SEA
through:
DUNG QUAT
across:
CENTRAL VIETNAM
into:
THE CENTRAL HIGHLANDS
and onward to:
BO Y INTERNATIONAL BORDER GATE
connecting with:
LAOS + CAMBODIA + THE GREATER MEKONG SUBREGION.
This creates an investment geography that can be summarized in one strategic corridor:
DEEP SEA
↓
DUNG QUAT
↓
INDUSTRY
↓
CENTRAL HIGHLANDS
↓
BO Y
↓
LAOS
↓
CAMBODIA
↓
MEKONG SUBREGION.
For international investors, that changes the Quang Ngai proposition completely.
Quang Ngai Province, Vietnam 2026 – Administrative & Investment Connectivity Map by TTTFIC Group. I – EXECUTIVE INVESTMENT OVERVIEW Quang Ngai should no longer be evaluated simply as a coastal industrial province.
The new province combines two complementary economic systems.
FORMER QUANG NGAI
contributes:
DUNG QUAT ECONOMIC ZONE
DEEP-SEA PORT
OIL REFINERY
HOA PHAT STEEL
VSIP
HEAVY INDUSTRY
MANUFACTURING
LOGISTICS
COAST
LY SON.
FORMER KON TUM
contributes:
CENTRAL HIGHLANDS
BO Y INTERNATIONAL BORDER GATE
LAOS & CAMBODIA CONNECTIVITY
FORESTRY
AGRICULTURE
MEDICINAL HERBS
RENEWABLE ENERGY
MANG DEN
LAND & DEVELOPMENT SPACE.
Together, they create something much more strategically significant:
SEA + PORT + INDUSTRY + HIGHLANDS + BORDER + INDOCHINA.
This combination positions Quang Ngai as a potential industrial and logistics bridge between:
INTERNATIONAL MARITIME TRADE
and:
THE CENTRAL HIGHLANDS / LAOS / CAMBODIA.
II – POST-MERGER STRATEGIC POSITION The new Quang Ngai is one of Vietnam’s larger provinces by geographic area.
Its economic geography can be divided into five major investment zones.
1. DUNG QUAT COASTAL INDUSTRIAL ZONE
Heavy industry, refining, steel, ports, logistics, manufacturing and energy.
2. QUANG NGAI–VSIP MANUFACTURING ZONE
Light industry, export manufacturing, electronics, garments, footwear, food and supporting industries.
3. SOUTHERN INDUSTRIAL CORRIDOR
Industrial expansion toward Duc Pho, Sa Huynh and surrounding areas.
4. CENTRAL HIGHLANDS INDUSTRIAL & RESOURCE ZONE
Kon Tum, Dak Ha, Dak To and surrounding areas.
5. BO Y INTERNATIONAL BORDER ECONOMY
Cross-border trade, logistics and connectivity toward Laos and Cambodia.
These zones can ultimately be connected into one investment architecture:
PORT → FACTORY → HIGHLANDS → BORDER → INDOCHINA.
Quang Ngai Province, Vietnam 2026 – industrial parks, Dung Quat deep-water port, Bo Y International Border Gate and strategic East–West logistics connectivity. III – ECONOMIC SCALE & INDUSTRIAL GROWTH The new Quang Ngai economy recorded approximately:
10.02% GRDP GROWTH IN 2025.
Industry and construction remained the principal growth engine, expanding approximately:
14.85%.
GRDP reached approximately:
VND 92.35 TRILLION
with GRDP per capita around:
VND 101.9 MILLION.
State budget revenue reached approximately:
VND 35.24 TRILLION.
The industrial structure is particularly important.
Quang Ngai already possesses large-scale industries including:
OIL REFINING
STEEL
METALLURGY
MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
PORT INDUSTRIES
ENERGY
LIGHT MANUFACTURING
FOOD PROCESSING
WOOD PROCESSING
TEXTILES
FOOTWEAR.
The province is therefore not attempting to build an industrial economy from zero.
It is expanding an industrial base that already contains nationally significant assets.
IV – DUNG QUAT – THE INDUSTRIAL ENGINE Dung Quat Economic Zone is the core industrial engine of Quang Ngai.
Its development has transformed the province from a predominantly agricultural economy into one of Central Vietnam’s major industrial centers.
Major assets include:
DUNG QUAT OIL REFINERY
HOA PHAT DUNG QUAT IRON & STEEL COMPLEX
DUNG QUAT DEEP-SEA PORT
DOOSAN / INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING
PETROCHEMICAL & ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE
PORT & LOGISTICS INFRASTRUCTURE
INDUSTRIAL LAND.
Dung Quat should therefore be understood as:
INDUSTRY + PORT + ENERGY + LOGISTICS
rather than simply an Economic Zone.
V – DUNG QUAT OIL REFINERY The Dung Quat Refinery represents one of Vietnam’s most important energy-industrial assets.
Its presence has created a broader ecosystem involving:
petroleum;
petrochemicals;
storage;
marine terminals;
mechanical services;
industrial maintenance;
engineering;
logistics.
The refinery expansion program further strengthens the long-term industrial importance of Dung Quat.
For investors, the opportunity extends beyond refining itself.
It includes:
DOWNSTREAM INDUSTRIES
INDUSTRIAL SERVICES
MAINTENANCE
ENGINEERING
LOGISTICS
CHEMICAL & MATERIAL SUPPLY CHAINS.
VI – HOA PHAT DUNG QUAT – A MAJOR STEEL & ADVANCED MATERIALS PLATFORM Hoa Phat has developed one of Vietnam’s largest integrated steel-manufacturing platforms at Dung Quat.
The broader ecosystem includes:
IRON & STEEL
HOT-ROLLED COIL
STEEL PRODUCTS
SPECIAL STEEL
PORT INFRASTRUCTURE
INDUSTRIAL LOGISTICS.
New investment also includes railway-rail and special-steel manufacturing.
This creates downstream opportunities for:
mechanical engineering;
metal fabrication;
industrial components;
automotive supply chains;
machinery;
construction materials;
steel service centers;
logistics;
industrial maintenance.
The investment opportunity is therefore not simply:
“STEEL PRODUCTION.”
It is:
STEEL → DOWNSTREAM MANUFACTURING → COMPONENTS → ENGINEERING → EXPORT.
VII – DUNG QUAT DEEP-SEA PORT – THE GLOBAL GATEWAY One of Quang Ngai’s greatest competitive advantages is:
DEEP-SEA PORT ACCESS.
Dung Quat is a national Class I seaport and a major maritime gateway for Central Vietnam.
Its infrastructure supports:
bulk cargo;
general cargo;
containers;
steel;
petroleum;
heavy industrial cargo;
project cargo.
Specialized infrastructure can accommodate very large vessels, including vessels up to approximately:
200,000 DWT
at suitable specialized facilities and anchorages.
For industrial investors, this creates a major advantage.
Heavy raw materials do not necessarily need to travel hundreds of kilometers inland from another port.
Instead:
PORT
↓
INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX
↓
FACTORY.
This is particularly valuable for:
steel;
heavy industry;
energy;
petrochemicals;
large equipment;
bulk commodities;
export manufacturing.
Quang Ngai Province, Vietnam 2026 – industrial parks, manufacturing, former Kon Tum highlands, Dung Quat Economic Zone and East–West investment connectivity. VIII – QUANG NGAI SEAPORT SYSTEM The official Quang Ngai seaport system includes several major port areas and terminals.
Key port geography includes:
DUNG QUAT PORT AREA
SA KY PORT
BEN DINH PORT – LY SON
MY A PORT DEVELOPMENT
and additional maritime infrastructure.
Important operating berths and specialized terminals include:
DUNG QUAT REFINERY PRODUCT EXPORT TERMINAL
PTSC QUANG NGAI PORT
GEMADEPT DUNG QUAT PORT
HOA PHAT DUNG QUAT GENERAL & CONTAINER PORT
DOOSAN–DUNG QUAT PORT
HAO HUNG GENERAL PORT
HOA PHAT DUNG QUAT STEEL COMPLEX SPECIALIZED PORT
SA KY PORT
BEN DINH PORT.
This port system supports a diversified maritime economy.
IX – THE NEW EAST–WEST INVESTMENT CORRIDOR The most important strategic consequence of the Quang Ngai–Kon Tum merger is geographic.
Before the merger:
DUNG QUAT
and:
BO Y
belonged to different provinces.
Today, they belong to:
ONE PROVINCE.
This creates the possibility of a long-term economic corridor:
DUNG QUAT DEEP-SEA PORT
↓
QUANG NGAI INDUSTRIAL SYSTEM
↓
CENTRAL HIGHLANDS
↓
BO Y INTERNATIONAL BORDER GATE
↓
LAOS
↓
CAMBODIA
↓
NORTHEAST THAILAND / GREATER MEKONG SUBREGION.
The potential is significant.
International cargo could increasingly connect maritime trade with inland Southeast Asian markets.
TTMS™ CONTROL
However:
GEOGRAPHIC CORRIDOR ≠ COMPLETED HIGH-CAPACITY LOGISTICS CORRIDOR.
The full potential depends on:
road capacity;
logistics centers;
border infrastructure;
customs procedures;
bilateral agreements;
cargo volumes;
commercial viability.
X – BO Y INTERNATIONAL BORDER GATE Bo Y is now one of Quang Ngai’s most important strategic assets.
It provides international road connectivity toward:
LAOS
and onward toward:
CAMBODIA + THE GREATER MEKONG SUBREGION.
The surrounding:
BO Y INTERNATIONAL BORDER GATE ECONOMIC ZONE
creates potential for:
logistics;
warehousing;
distribution;
agricultural trade;
forestry products;
processing;
cross-border commerce;
customs services;
commercial services.
The strategic concept is powerful:
DUNG QUAT = SEA GATEWAY.
BO Y = LAND GATEWAY.
Together:
SEA GATEWAY + LAND GATEWAY = EAST–WEST INVESTMENT PLATFORM.
Former Kon Tum Province, Vietnam – industrial development, coffee agriculture, Kon Tum urban center and Bo Y International Border Gate connecting the Central Highlands with regional markets. XI – TWO ECONOMIC ZONES – TWO INTERNATIONAL GATEWAYS Quang Ngai now possesses two fundamentally different Economic Zones.
1. DUNG QUAT ECONOMIC ZONE
Orientation:
SEA + INDUSTRY + PORT + ENERGY + MANUFACTURING + LOGISTICS.
2. BO Y INTERNATIONAL BORDER GATE ECONOMIC ZONE
Orientation:
BORDER + TRADE + LOGISTICS + SERVICES + INDOCHINA.
The two EZs create complementary international gateways.
DUNG QUAT → GLOBAL MARITIME ECONOMY.
BO Y → MAINLAND SOUTHEAST ASIA.
This dual-gateway structure is one of Quang Ngai’s strongest post-merger investment advantages.
XII – INDUSTRIAL PARK SYSTEM Under the post-merger industrial planning framework, Quang Ngai is developing toward:
15 INDUSTRIAL PARKS
with a total planned area of approximately:
7,425 HECTARES BY 2030.
Current official reporting identifies:
6 OPERATING INDUSTRIAL PARKS
with:
4 ADDITIONAL INDUSTRIAL PARKS UNDER DEVELOPMENT
and a larger future pipeline.
This industrial network extends from the coast into the Central Highlands.
XIII – SIX OPERATING INDUSTRIAL PARKS 1. VSIP QUANG NGAI INDUSTRIAL PARK VSIP Quang Ngai is one of the province’s most important international FDI manufacturing platforms.
Its broader development covers approximately:
660 HECTARES
with approximately:
615 HECTARES OF INDUSTRIAL PARK LAND.
Strategic connectivity includes:
National Highway 1;
Da Nang–Quang Ngai Expressway;
Dung Quat Deep-Sea Port;
Chu Lai Airport;
Quang Ngai urban area.
Priority industries include:
food;
beverages;
FMCG;
electronics assembly;
textiles;
garments;
footwear;
furniture;
light manufacturing.
VSIP provides an important counterbalance to Dung Quat’s heavy-industrial economy.
DUNG QUAT = HEAVY INDUSTRY.
VSIP = LIGHT / CLEAN / EXPORT MANUFACTURING.
Together they diversify Quang Ngai’s industrial base.
2. TINH PHONG INDUSTRIAL PARK
Tịnh Phong is an established industrial location supporting:
manufacturing;
processing;
industrial services;
export industries.
Its location close to Quang Ngai’s principal transport corridors provides access toward Dung Quat, National Highway 1 and regional markets.
3. QUANG PHU INDUSTRIAL PARK
Quang Phu supports an established processing and manufacturing ecosystem.
Its strengths include:
food processing;
seafood;
consumer products;

access to Quang Ngai urban services.
4. SAI GON–DUNG QUAT INDUSTRIAL SUBZONE
Located within the Dung Quat industrial geography, this industrial platform benefits from direct integration with:
DUNG QUAT ECONOMIC ZONE + PORT + HEAVY INDUSTRY + LOGISTICS.
5. HOA BINH INDUSTRIAL PARK
Inherited from former Kon Tum, Hoa Binh brings industrial activity into the western highland geography.
The IP has a planned area of approximately:
60 HECTARES.
Its role is different from Dung Quat.
It can support:
agricultural processing;
forestry processing;
regional manufacturing;
highland raw-material processing.
6. SAO MAI INDUSTRIAL PARK
Sao Mai is another important industrial platform in the former Kon Tum area.
Its planned scale is approximately:
150 HECTARES.
Together with Hoa Binh, it forms an emerging industrial base around the Kon Tum urban area.
VSIP Quang Ngai Industrial Park, Vietnam – modern industrial infrastructure, manufacturing facilities and strategic connectivity for FDI investors. XIV – INDUSTRIAL PARKS UNDER DEVELOPMENT & EXPANSION The next industrial-development cycle includes several strategically important projects.
VSIP II QUANG NGAI
VSIP II represents the next expansion of the VSIP manufacturing ecosystem in Quang Ngai.
Its development can significantly increase the province’s capacity to attract:
FDI;
light manufacturing;
electronics;
supporting industries;
export production.
PHO PHONG INDUSTRIAL PARK
Pho Phong represents another important southern industrial-development location.
BINH HOA–BINH PHUOC INDUSTRIAL PARK
The planning framework provides approximately:
592 HECTARES
for the Bình Hoa–Bình Phước industrial platform.
Its location strengthens the wider Dung Quat industrial ecosystem.
TINH PHONG / VSIP EXPANSION PLATFORM
The wider Tinh Phong–VSIP planning geography reaches approximately:
720 HECTARES.
This reinforces the northern Quang Ngai manufacturing corridor.
XV – NEXT-GENERATION INDUSTRIAL PARK PIPELINE Several major new industrial territories are included in the development framework.
DUNG QUAT II INDUSTRIAL PARK
~765 HA
Planned as a multi-sector, higher-technology Industrial Park integrated with urban and service development.
BINH THANH INDUSTRIAL PARK
~1,399 HA
A major future industrial-development territory.
BINH LONG INDUSTRIAL PARK
~341 HA
AN PHU INDUSTRIAL PARK
~276 HA
Part of a broader industrial–urban–service complex.
DAK TO INDUSTRIAL PARK
~146.76 HA
Located in the western highland territory.
Its planning history requires careful status control because previous infrastructure investment did not proceed as originally intended.
Current planning work is being renewed.
CENTRALIZED MEDICINAL-HERB PRODUCTION & PROCESSING INDUSTRIAL PARK – DAK TO
~218.24 HA
This is one of the most distinctive industrial concepts in Quang Ngai.
The former Kon Tum territory has important potential for:
Ngoc Linh ginseng;
medicinal herbs;
pharmaceutical ingredients;
botanical extracts;
biotechnology;
health products.
A specialized medicinal-herb processing IP could create a value chain:
MOUNTAIN RESOURCES
↓
CULTIVATION
↓
PROCESSING
↓
PHARMACEUTICAL / NUTRACEUTICAL PRODUCTS
↓
EXPORT.
XVI – INVESTMENT-READY VS FUTURE INDUSTRIAL LAND Investors must distinguish carefully between:
OPERATING IP
DEVELOPING IP
PLANNED IP
INVESTMENT-CALLING PROJECT.
For example, the province is actively calling for infrastructure investors for:
Northwest Dung Quat IP;
Eastern Dung Quat IP;
Binh Thanh industrial–urban–service complex;
Dung Quat II;
Binh Hoa–Binh Phuoc;
Pho Phong;
An Phu;
Dak To;
centralized medicinal-herb processing IP.
TTMS™ STATUS CONTROL
PLANNED IP ≠ ESTABLISHED IP
ESTABLISHED IP ≠ COMPLETED INFRASTRUCTURE
UNDER DEVELOPMENT ≠ READY LAND
READY LAND ≠ SUITABLE FOR EVERY INDUSTRY.
XVII – INDUSTRIAL CLUSTERS – 64-LOCATION NETWORK Industrial Clusters (ICs) are another major component of Quang Ngai’s post-merger manufacturing platform.
The integrated planning review identifies:
64 INDUSTRIAL CLUSTER LOCATIONS / DEVELOPMENT ITEMS.
These are divided into:
OPERATING ICs
ESTABLISHED BUT NOT YET OPERATING ICs
and:
NEW PLANNED ICs.
This network is particularly important because Quang Ngai covers a very large geographic territory.
ICs can bring manufacturing closer to:
local labor;
forestry resources;
agricultural materials;
highland communities;
district-level markets.
XVIII – OPERATING INDUSTRIAL CLUSTERS The official post-merger review identifies the following operating ICs:
1. BINH NGUYEN INDUSTRIAL CLUSTER

TTMS™ CONTROL
64 PLANNING ITEMS ≠ 64 OPERATING INDUSTRIAL CLUSTERS.
The investment value lies in understanding:
WHICH ARE OPERATING?
WHICH HAVE INFRASTRUCTURE?
WHICH HAVE LAND?
WHICH ARE STILL PLANNED?
WHICH FIT THE INVESTOR’S INDUSTRY?
Dung Quat Economic Zone, Quang Ngai Province, Vietnam – deep-water port, industrial parks, petrochemicals, manufacturing and strategic logistics connectivity. XXI – WHY INDUSTRIAL CLUSTERS MATTER Quang Ngai’s IC system has a strategic role beyond conventional industrial development.
The province is geographically large.
Many rural and highland communities are far from the major coastal industrial centers.
Industrial Clusters can bring:
FACTORY + JOBS + PROCESSING
closer to:
LABOR + AGRICULTURE + FORESTRY + RAW MATERIALS.
This is particularly relevant for:
wood processing;
agricultural processing;
medicinal herbs;
food;
livestock;
construction materials;
light manufacturing;
local supporting industries.
XXII – CENTRAL HIGHLANDS RESOURCE PLATFORM The former Kon Tum territory dramatically expands Quang Ngai’s natural-resource and agricultural base.
Potential value chains include:
FORESTRY
COFFEE
RUBBER
CASSAVA
FRUITS
MEDICINAL HERBS
NGOC LINH GINSENG
LIVESTOCK
RENEWABLE ENERGY.
The investment opportunity is not simply resource extraction.
It is:
RESOURCE → PROCESSING → HIGHER VALUE → EXPORT.
XXIII – NGOC LINH GINSENG & MEDICINAL HERBS One of the new province’s most distinctive assets is its medicinal-herb ecosystem.
The Ngoc Linh region is associated with one of Vietnam’s most valuable medicinal plants:
NGOC LINH GINSENG.
The broader highland environment also supports multiple medicinal species.
This creates potential for:
pharmaceutical ingredients;
herbal extracts;
nutraceuticals;
cosmetics;
biotechnology;
wellness products;
medicinal-herb processing.
The planned Dak To specialized medicinal-herb Industrial Park could become an important processing platform.
TTMS™ RESOURCE CONTROL
MEDICINAL-HERB POTENTIAL ≠ COMMERCIAL SUPPLY
and:
RESOURCE POTENTIAL ≠ INVESTABLE PROJECT.
Investors must verify cultivation scale, certification, traceability and supply contracts.
XXIV – FORESTRY & WOOD PROCESSING The western portion of the province has significant forest resources.
This creates opportunities for:
plantation forestry;
certified timber;
furniture;
wood panels;
pellets;
biomass;
forestry by-products.
The strategic opportunity is to move from:
RAW TIMBER
toward:
CERTIFIED + PROCESSED + HIGH-VALUE WOOD PRODUCTS.
XXV – RENEWABLE ENERGY Former Kon Tum adds substantial renewable-energy potential to Quang Ngai.
Opportunities include:
hydropower;
wind;
solar;
biomass;
energy storage;
industrial renewable-energy solutions.
The coastal portion also offers opportunities associated with:
energy;
LNG-related infrastructure;
industrial power;
renewable-energy supply chains.
This creates another possible strategic identity:
ENERGY PRODUCTION + ENERGY-INTENSIVE INDUSTRY + GREEN MANUFACTURING.
TTMS™ ENERGY CONTROL
ENERGY POTENTIAL ≠ APPROVED POWER PROJECT
APPROVED PROJECT ≠ OPERATING CAPACITY
REGIONAL GENERATION ≠ SITE-SPECIFIC POWER AVAILABILITY.
XXVI – MANG DEN – THE HIGHLAND SERVICE & TOURISM ECONOMY Mang Den introduces another completely different economic asset into the new province.
Its highland climate, forests and landscape create opportunities for:
tourism;
resorts;
wellness;
agriculture;
medicinal products;
food;
hospitality;
high-value services.
Mang Den should not be mixed indiscriminately with heavy-industrial investment.
It represents a separate:
GREEN + TOURISM + AGRICULTURE + WELLNESS ECONOMY.
XXVII – LY SON SPECIAL ZONE Ly Son gives Quang Ngai an important island and marine-economy component.
Its strategic role includes:
tourism;
fisheries;
maritime services;
marine economy;
cultural heritage;
national maritime connectivity.
Port infrastructure includes:
BEN DINH
and other island transport facilities.
Long-term infrastructure planning also includes further improvements to island connectivity.
XXVIII – LOGISTICS – FROM THE SEA TO INDOCHINA Quang Ngai’s logistics proposition can now be divided into three layers.
INTERNATIONAL MARITIME LOGISTICS
DUNG QUAT.
NATIONAL & REGIONAL LOGISTICS
NORTH–SOUTH EXPRESSWAY + NATIONAL HIGHWAYS + RAILWAY.
CROSS-BORDER LOGISTICS
BO Y.
This creates the long-term possibility of:
SHIP
↓
DUNG QUAT
↓
LOGISTICS CENTER
↓
CENTRAL HIGHLANDS
↓
BO Y
↓
LAOS / CAMBODIA.
A logistics center of approximately 38 ha is also included in the investment pipeline for Dung Quat.
XXIX – STRATEGIC TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE Major transport assets include:
NORTH–SOUTH EXPRESSWAY
DA NANG–QUANG NGAI EXPRESSWAY
NATIONAL HIGHWAY 1
NATIONAL HIGHWAY 24
NATIONAL HIGHWAY 24B
NATIONAL HIGHWAY 24C
NORTH–SOUTH RAILWAY
DUNG QUAT PORT
CHU LAI AIRPORT ACCESS
BO Y INTERNATIONAL BORDER GATE.
Future infrastructure includes a dedicated railway connection between:
TRI BINH
and:
DUNG QUAT PORT.
If implemented, this could strengthen bulk and industrial logistics.
TTMS™ STATUS CONTROL
PLANNED RAIL CONNECTION ≠ OPERATING RAIL LOGISTICS.
XXX – INDUSTRIAL LAND COST ADVANTAGE Quang Ngai can offer an important alternative to investors facing increasingly expensive industrial land in Vietnam’s largest established manufacturing markets.
Compared with many mature industrial locations around:
HCMC
BINH DUONG
DONG NAI
HAI PHONG
BAC NINH,
selected Quang Ngai locations may offer more competitive:
industrial land;
factory development costs;
worker living costs;
large-site availability;
expansion opportunities.
This can be particularly attractive to projects requiring:
LARGE LAND
HEAVY INDUSTRIAL ACCESS
PORT ACCESS
LOWER TOTAL OCCUPANCY COST.
However:
TTMS™ COMMERCIAL CONTROL
LOWER LAND PRICE ≠ LOWER TOTAL PROJECT COST.
Investors must compare:
LAND + INFRASTRUCTURE + LOGISTICS + LABOR + UTILITIES + CONSTRUCTION + SUPPLY CHAIN + FINANCING.
XXXI – INVESTMENT INCENTIVES Projects within qualifying Economic Zones and encouraged sectors may be eligible for significant investment incentives under Vietnamese law.
For qualifying projects in Dung Quat Economic Zone, incentives may include:
10% CORPORATE INCOME TAX FOR 15 YEARS
together with:
4-YEAR CIT EXEMPTION
followed by:
50% CIT REDUCTION FOR THE NEXT 9 YEARS,
subject to applicable law and project eligibility.
Qualifying projects may also benefit from import-duty incentives for:
machinery;
equipment;
fixed assets;
certain raw materials unavailable domestically.
Particularly large or strategically important qualifying projects may be eligible for longer preferential treatment under applicable legislation.
Projects in:
ECONOMIC ZONES
DIFFICULT / EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AREAS
HIGH-TECH SECTORS
ENCOURAGED INDUSTRIES
may have additional incentive eligibility.
TTMS™ INCENTIVE CONTROL
LOCATION IN QUANG NGAI ≠ AUTOMATIC MAXIMUM INCENTIVE.
Eligibility depends on:
project location;
industry;
investment size;
technology;
legal structure;
applicable legislation at the time of licensing.
XXXII – WHY COST + INCENTIVES MATTER For a long-term manufacturing project, the investment decision should not be based only on initial land price.
A 30–50 year industrial investment is affected by:
LAND COST
CORPORATE TAX
IMPORT DUTIES
LABOR
ENERGY
PORT LOGISTICS
EXPANSION LAND.
Quang Ngai can be particularly competitive when several of these advantages are combined.
For certain projects:
COMPETITIVE LAND + DEEP-SEA PORT + INVESTMENT INCENTIVES
can materially improve long-term project economics.
XXXIII – INDUSTRIAL WORKFORCE Dung Quat and the province’s Industrial Parks already support a significant industrial workforce.
Across the Economic Zones and Industrial Parks under the provincial management system, more than:
81,000 WORKERS
are employed.
This existing industrial workforce provides experience in:
steel;
refining;
mechanical engineering;
manufacturing;
garments;
footwear;
food;
logistics.
The western highland territory also adds a large rural labor catchment for future decentralized manufacturing.

6. INVESTABLE PROJECT / INVESTABLE SITE
Before recommending a site, TTTFIC verifies:
LAND
LEGAL STATUS
PLANNING
SITE CLEARANCE
INDUSTRY ELIGIBILITY
FDI ELIGIBILITY
POWER
POWER QUALITY
WATER
WASTEWATER
ENVIRONMENT
FIRE SAFETY
LABOR
RAW MATERIALS
ROAD
PORT
AIRPORT
RAIL
BORDER ACCESS
LOGISTICS
INCENTIVES
COMMERCIAL TERMS
IMPLEMENTATION TIMELINE.
XXXVIII – INVESTMENT RISKS & EXECUTION CONSIDERATIONS GEOGRAPHIC SCALE
The new province is very large.
Distance between Dung Quat and western highland investment areas must be incorporated into logistics analysis.
EAST–WEST CONNECTIVITY
The strategic corridor is compelling, but infrastructure capacity must continue to improve.
INDUSTRIAL PARK STATUS
15 PLANNED IPs ≠ 15 OPERATING IPs.
INDUSTRIAL CLUSTERS
64 PLANNING ITEMS ≠ 64 OPERATING ICs.
DAK TO
Planning exists, but infrastructure development must be independently verified.
LAND
Competitive land pricing does not eliminate compensation, site-clearance and legal risks.
PORT
Deep-sea access is a major advantage, but terminal suitability must be checked by cargo type and vessel.
LABOR
Heavy industry, electronics and high-tech manufacturing require different labor profiles.
ENVIRONMENT
Steel, refining, chemicals and heavy industry require stringent environmental controls.
ENERGY
Power availability must be checked at each site rather than inferred from provincial energy potential.
XXXIX – WHY QUANG NGAI VIETNAM MATTERS Quang Ngai combines:
DUNG QUAT ECONOMIC ZONE
BO Y INTERNATIONAL BORDER GATE ECONOMIC ZONE
DUNG QUAT DEEP-SEA PORT
VSIP
HOA PHAT
DUNG QUAT OIL REFINERY
15-IP DEVELOPMENT PLATFORM
64-IC PLANNING NETWORK
CENTRAL HIGHLANDS
LAOS & CAMBODIA ACCESS
COMPETITIVE INDUSTRIAL LAND
INVESTMENT INCENTIVES
ENERGY
FORESTRY
MEDICINAL HERBS
LY SON
MANG DEN.
Few locations in Vietnam combine:
HEAVY INDUSTRY + INTERNATIONAL PORT + INTERNATIONAL BORDER + HIGHLAND RESOURCES
within one provincial investment geography.
XL – TTTFIC INVESTMENT PERSPECTIVE TTTFIC believes Quang Ngai should no longer be marketed simply as:
“A CENTRAL VIETNAM INDUSTRIAL PROVINCE.”
Its stronger international positioning is:
VIETNAM’S SEA-TO-HIGHLANDS INDUSTRIAL & INDOCHINA GATEWAY.
Dung Quat provides:
GLOBAL MARITIME ACCESS.
Bo Y provides:
MAINLAND SOUTHEAST ASIA ACCESS.
VSIP provides:
INTERNATIONAL LIGHT-MANUFACTURING INFRASTRUCTURE.
Hoa Phat provides:
HEAVY INDUSTRIAL SCALE.
The refinery provides:
ENERGY & PETROCHEMICAL ECOSYSTEM.
The Central Highlands provide:
LAND + AGRICULTURE + FORESTRY + MEDICINAL RESOURCES.
Together they create several investment models.
GLOBAL EXPORT MANUFACTURING
FACTORY → DUNG QUAT → INTERNATIONAL MARKET.
INDOCHINA LOGISTICS
DUNG QUAT → BO Y → LAOS / CAMBODIA.
HIGHLAND PROCESSING
RAW MATERIAL → PROCESSING → DUNG QUAT → EXPORT.
DOWNSTREAM HEAVY INDUSTRY
STEEL / ENERGY → COMPONENTS → MANUFACTURING → EXPORT.
LIGHT MANUFACTURING
VSIP → PORT / EXPRESSWAY / AIRPORT → GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN.
The question for investors is therefore not:
“Is Quang Ngai cheaper than HCMC or Northern Vietnam?”
The correct question is:
“CAN QUANG NGAI DELIVER A BETTER TOTAL INVESTMENT ECONOMY THROUGH COMPETITIVE LAND, DEEP-SEA ACCESS, LONG-TERM INCENTIVES, INDUSTRIAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND EXPANSION CAPACITY?”
For many industrial projects, that question deserves serious analysis.
XLI – TTTFIC GROUP – INVESTOR SUPPORT IN QUANG NGAI TTTFIC Group | Vietnam Industrial Investment & Business Advisory
Quang Ngai’s diversity makes professional site selection particularly important.
A steel supplier should not evaluate the same location as a garment factory.
A pharmaceutical investor should not use the same criteria as a port logistics company.
A Laos-facing distributor has different requirements from an export manufacturer.
TTTFIC therefore begins with the investor’s operating model.

Quang Ngai Province, Vietnam 2026 – industrial parks, Dung Quat Economic Zone, deep-water port, manufacturing and FDI investment opportunities. XLII – CONCLUSION The old investment map of Quang Ngai was centered primarily on:
DUNG QUAT + REFINERY + STEEL + VSIP.
The new investment map is substantially larger.
It now includes:
DUNG QUAT
↓
QUANG NGAI
↓
CENTRAL HIGHLANDS
↓
KON TUM
↓
DAK TO
↓
BO Y
↓
LAOS / CAMBODIA.
This creates a new economic architecture:
SEA + PORT + INDUSTRY + LAND + RESOURCES + BORDER.
Dung Quat provides the maritime gateway.
Bo Y provides the international land gateway.
VSIP provides international manufacturing infrastructure.
Hoa Phat provides heavy-industry scale.
The refinery provides energy-industry depth.
The highlands provide agriculture, forestry, medicinal resources and development space.
The Industrial Parks provide concentrated manufacturing locations.
The Industrial Clusters distribute industrial development deeper into local communities.
And competitive industrial land together with qualifying long-term investment incentives can provide an additional economic advantage.
Quang Ngai therefore should not compete only on:
PRICE.
Its stronger proposition is:
TOTAL INVESTMENT ECONOMICS.
That means:
LAND
PORT
INDUSTRY
ENERGY
INCENTIVES
LOGISTICS
BORDER
RESOURCES
EXPANSION CAPACITY.
For international investors seeking a long-term manufacturing, heavy-industrial, processing or logistics base in Central Vietnam:
QUANG NGAI DESERVES TO BE ON THE SITE-SELECTION SHORTLIST.
