Industrial Park Infrastructure

Dong Nai currently has 33 industrial parks (IPs) with a total area of over 10,500 ha. Major IPs like Amata, Nhon Trach, Long Thanh, and Bien Hoa have well-developed infrastructure, including modern electricity, water, telecommunications systems, and centralized wastewater treatment facilities.
