As of today, SHTP has 107 valid projects worth more than $6.095 billion, of which local investors invested $1.48 billion in 67 projects.

Export revenue from enterprises in the park was worth $7.19 billion, and more than $7.06 billion was spent to import materials, machinery and equipment.

Exports are expected to reach $9 billion this year. — VNS
