Vietnam's Ben Tre Province to Develop 50,000 Hectare Polder for Economic Growth
New polder to drive expansion in fisheries, logistics, and tourism sectors by 2030
Ben Tre Province, located in Vietnam's Mekong Delta, is set to create a 50,000-hectare polder spanning three districts and a 65-kilometer coastal area to stimulate economic growth. The polder will cover Ba Tri, Binh Dai, and Thanh Phu districts as part of the province’s master plan for 2021-2030, with a long-term vision extending to 2050.
The new eastern coastal zone, including the polder, is designed to become a major economic hub, focusing on fisheries, energy, transportation, and tourism. This development will include the construction of a large seaport to support high-capacity vessels, enhancing Ben Tre’s position in logistics and commerce.
Preparations are already underway with the construction of a 53-kilometer coastal road and the upcoming Ba Lai 8 Bridge. Investment conferences will be held next month to attract further funding for this ambitious project, aimed at transforming the province's economy, which has been growing at a steady 6-7% annually.
