12:59:51 PM | 4/5/2007

According to the Department of Planning and Investment of Can Tho city, infrastructure facilities in the Mekong delta have gradually improved by centrally and locally-run agencies. As a result, many foreign investors have paid more attention to Can Tho city and the Mekong delta.
 
This year, Can Tho is striving to attract six more foreign-invested projects with a total registered capital of US$270 million.
 
Also, according the Can Tho Department of Planning and Investment, the attraction of foreign investment to Can Tho has faced many difficulties. Apart from rice and seafood, Can THo and other Mekong delta provinces lack materials for textile and garment making, animal feed production, and steel manufacturing.
 
At the same time, traffic conditions in the region remain difficult. As a result, most projects in Can Tho city are small-sized. Can Tho has 41 foreign-invested projects with a total registered capital of US$133 million. Of which, around US$92 million has been realised. Of the projects, 24 projects have become operational.
