On March 12, at the Conference Center of Binh Phuoc Provincial School of Politics, “EuroCham High Technology Agriculture, Industrial & Commercial Enterprises Connection Forum – Binh Phuoc Province 2024” was held with the participation of nearly 360 domestic and international delegates.In addition to Binh Phuoc Provincial People’s Committee, the forum was co-chaired by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the European Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (EuroCham), and the Vietnam Digital Agriculture Association (VIDA). The forum was also coordinated by Hung Nhon Group, De Heus Group (Netherlands), and Vietnam High-Tech Agriculture Club (DAA).The forum was attended by more than 100 leaders of leading EuroCham businesses such as Heineken, De Heus, Big Dutchman, Phileo by Lesaffre, Kilimo, Logwin Air & Ocean, Stolz Asia, The Fruit Republic, Biodevas, Lallemand, Hung Nhon Aust Export, and businesses from the Australian Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (AusCham).The purpose of the ” EuroCham High Technology Agriculture, Industrial & Commercial Enterprises Connection Forum – Binh Phuoc Province 2024″ was for Binh Phuoc to introduce and promote its image, potential, and preferential policies, helping domestic and foreign investors access key projects, especially those in industrial parks and economic zones, and agricultural projects applying high technology, thereby calling on domestic and foreign businesses and investors, including reputable EuroCham businesses with financial and technological potential, to invest in Binh Phuoc.Sharing information with investors, Chairwoman Tran Tue Hien said that over 80% of the province’s administrative procedures are handled by the closed-cycle process and connected online via the National Public Service Portal. When carrying out administrative procedures, investors only need to contact online or directly through the one-door public service of the Provincial Public Administrative Service Center to receive instructions on procedures, receive documents, and have results returned on-site. The time to resolve investment administrative procedures at all stages has been shortened to only two-thirds of the time specified by Government regulations.According to Ms. Tran Tue Hien, the province is also paying attention to digital transformation in businesses, with the goal of supporting people and businesses to apply digital platforms to improve business and management efficiency, enhance capacity and competitiveness, and create new value for businesses. According to Mr. Fluit, Binh Phuoc has a strategic location in the Southern Key Economic Region, serving as an important gateway connecting Vietnam, Cambodia and the region. With abundant land resources, Binh Phuoc offers attractive investment opportunities in agricultural development such as high-value crops, aquaculture, food processing, and large-scale production. The favorable business climate further confirms that Binh Phuoc is an ideal locality for large-scale renewable energy projects, in accordance with the Power Development Plan VIII and the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP). In the future, the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) provides a positive development step for Binh Phuoc. With nearly 99% of tariffs falling over the next decade, Binh Phuoc is well positioned to benefit from expanded access to the EU market with 500 million consumers.Representing the co-organizer, Mr. Vu Manh Hung, Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Digital Agriculture Association (VIDA), Chairman and General Director of Hung Nhon Group, said that in recent years, Binh Phuoc’s investment promotion programs have captured great attention from FDI businesses, especially in the fields of agricultural product export processing, supporting industries, and renewable energy. However, in terms of potentials and benefits, Binh Phuoc’s attractiveness to FDI is not comparable to that of other provinces and cities in the Southern Key Economic Region such as Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Duong, Dong Nai, and Ba Ria – Vung Tau.
