An Giang shares its border with Dong Thap Province to the east and northeast, Kien Giang
Province to the south and southwest, Can Tho City to the southeast, and nearly 100-km
borderline with Kampuchea to the northwest with 5 border-gates that are permitted to do the
customs clearance of goods, including: 2 international border-gates, 2 national border-gates, and
1 subborder-gate.
An Giang lies between the Tien River and the Hau River. Consequently, the province has
profuse surface water source that is very favorable for rice planting and aquaculture. It is the
commercial economic center of three big cities of Ho Chi Minh (HCMC), Can Tho and Phnom
Penh, and is the trading gateway between the Mekong Delta, HCMC, and the countries of the
Mekong River Delta Sub-region. An Giang thus becomes the focal point for communication with
the Mekong Sub-region of Viet Nam, Kampuchea, Laos, and Thailand.
Public transport
- An Giang – HCMC: 200 km by car on National Road (NR) nos 1, 80, and 89.

Topography and climate 4
An Giang occupies a position in the upper reaches of the Mekong Delta. The Hau Giang and
Tien Giang branches of the Mekong River are the dominant geographical features of the
province. With the exception of the west, most of An Giang is fairly flat, and is criss-crossed by
many canals and small rivers. This terrain has led to An Giang being a significant agricultural
centre, producing significant quantities of rice.
2
Climate 5
There are two distinct seasons: the raining season is from May to November and the dry
season from December to April next year. The annual average temperature is about 27oC. The
highest temperature is 35oC- 37oC from April to May and the lowest is 20oC- 21oC from
December to January the following year. In general, the climate conditions are favorable for
agricultural development. An Giang is affected by 2 winds: the southwest monsoon and the
northeast monsoon. The former is cool and humid, creating the raining season, the latter creates
hot and dry weather.

An Giang has 37 different kinds of land, forming 3 main groups.
+ Alluvial soil
- In flooded fields: mainly distributed in districts of Chau Thanh, Chau Phu, Phu Tan, An Phu,
Tan Chau, Thoai Son, and Cho Moi, and a part of Long Xuyen City, Chau Doc Town,
comprising the following types: :
* Island soil: distributed mainly along the two rivers of Tien and Hau and a small section in
the Vam Nao River. The soil is generated by alluvial sedimentation, having high nutrients
and no toxic ion for vegetation.
* In the Tien River: 21 islands in the Tien River.
* In the Vam Nao River.
-
Grey alluvium soil having less organic matters: occupying a considerable area in 4 island
districts of Cho Moi, Phu Tan, An Phu, Tan Chau, and series of ricefields along the Hau

Son, and Tri Ton, with an area of 84,872 ha, accounting for 24.7% of the provincial area,
having elevation from 0.8 to 1 m.
Ancient alluvium soil covers an area of 94,446 ha, accounting for 27,58% of the provincial
area, mainly distributing in highe terrain of Tri Ton and Tinh Bien Districts. The soil does
not intoxicate vegetation. However, it nutrients and porosity are poor and low. Due to new
alluvium of the Hau River sedimented by floodings, the new surface soil has been formed
and mixed with many organic matters, creating a relatively thick layer of humus which is
appropriate for planting.
+ Alum soil
The soil contains sulphate with very low pH index, varying about 2-3 m, distributing in
districts bordering Kien Giang Province, with a total area of 30,136 ha
- Potential alum soil distributes in communes of Vong The, Vong Dong (Thoai Son District),
O Long Vi, Thanh My Tay (Chau Phu District), Tan Tuyen, Ta Danh (Tri Ton District), Tan
Loi (Tinh Bien District), etc. Depending on terrain, there is a difference in thickness of
wrapping layer and alum generation level. Majority of potential alum soil have main
components of clay (40.83%), powder (45.13%), and fine sand (4.15%).
- Soil having high concentration of alum is under developped. It has a very active alum and an
alum generation layer underneath, distributing in the western narrow valleys of the Bay Nui
Region. The granular composition is clay (41.31%), powder (36.68%), and sand (4.75%).
- Soil having less alum distributes in high terrain which is under a 80-100 cm layer of alluvial
sedimentation. It is distributed in the foot of Co To Mountain, bordering area of Thoai Son
and Chau Thanh District. The granualar composition has a high concentration of clay (6063.9%) and a little powder and sand.
- Peat soil having alum is characterized by a thick and porous layer of peat, distributing along
valleys of ancient rivers in Tri Ton District, Tra Su Cajeput Forest, and communes of Luong
An Tra, Ta Danh. Its mineral content is low and poor but its nitrogent content is very high.
+ Mountainous and hilly soil
The soil is formed by erosion and decomposition of rocky hills and mountains, and carried to
the mountain foot by floodings. It distributes in 2 districts of Tri To and Tinh Bien, a small
section of Thoai Son District, covering an area of 29,320 ha, accounting for 8,6% of the
provincial area.
3.2 Water resources

with the system of canals, ponds and lakes, these are huge aquatic product resources that are
6
จัดทําโดย สถานกงสุลใหญ ณ นครโฮจิมินห กันยายน 2557
favorable for the development of fish breeding in floating houses and ponds, and aquaculture in
paddy fields.
3.3 Mineral resources 8
An Giang has more mineral resources than other provinces of the Mekong River Delta such
as granite, sandstone, tile clay, kaolin, peat, clamshells, puzzoland, feldspars, bentonite, sand,
gravel, etc. that meet the requirement for construction material for the region.
+ Construction stone: comprising many types of sedimentary rock and magma, distributing in
mountainous areas of Ta Pa, Nam Qui, Phu Cuong, Co To, Tra Su, etc. The stone is used for
road pavement, construction, and concrete works.
+ Granitic rock
- Brilliant color with fine granular: distributing in mountains of Tra Su, Ket, Ba Doi, Sap,
Little Ba The, Tuong, Choc, Troi (Thoai Son District.)
- Dark color with coarse granular: distributing in mountains of Co To, Ba The. The estimated
reserve is about 11 million m3.
+ Eruptive rock: distributing in mountains of Dai, Phu Cuong, Sa Lon, and the south of Cam.
The stone has a blue-black color and low pressure strength (700-1,000 kg/cm2) but can be used
for construction because it is shatter-proof.
+ Construction sand
- Mountain sand: distributing along mountain slopes between mountains of Cam and Dai of
An Cu Commune (Thoi Son District). It is the deposit generated by water containing sand
from higher slopes.
- River sand in Tan Chau District is yellow and famous for its utilization in construction. There
are 4 exploitation sites in the Tien River and 8 exploitation sites in the Hau River.
+ Clay for tile and brick production distributes in districts of Chau Phu and Chau Thanh,
serving over 400 brickyards in An Giang. The clay is under a surface soil layer of 0.2-0.3 m and
refilled by 2 – 3 flooding seasons after being exploited.
+ Ashlar facing stone comprises groups of multicolor granite, granodiorite, rhyolite for higrade decoration. In addition, there is field stone in mountains of Phu Cuong, Nam Qui. The
stones can be exploited at quarries of:
- Cam Mountain, mainly in the southwest slope of Cam Mountain,
- Gap Ghenh, in the north of Little Dai Mountain.
+ Aplite stone is exploited to supply raw materials for brick plants of Dong Tam, An Giang,
HCMC. In addition to aplite stone, there are rock ledges found in Sap Mounatain and the Bay
Nui Region, having kali and natri which are precious for industry of ceramic and porcelain.
+ Peat distributes mainly in the Bay Nui Region of two districts of Tinh Bien and Tri Ton. The
estimated reserve is about 7, 632,430 tons (category A + B + C1) and the total potential is

7
จัดทําโดย สถานกงสุลใหญ ณ นครโฮจิมินห กันยายน 2557
16,886,730 tons. Majority of peat mines have high quality peat, meeting demands of producing
organic microbiologic fertilizer and humic acid.
+ Clamshell mine is formed in river estuaries, scattering and stretching along the southwest –
north-east direction. The shell becomes bigger at deeper layer, having an average layer thickness
of 0.69 to 1.55 m and an average length of 6.83 to 7.55m. Main chemical elements of calmshell
are oxyt canxi (CaO), accounting for 54,20 - 54,91%. In addition, there are clamshell having a
little content of oxytmaghe (MgO) and oxit silic (SiO2), which is used to produce white cement
and NPK fertilizer.
+ Clay
- Kaolin clay concentrates mainly in the Bay Nui region, being created by the weathered
process of mineral rock in mountains of Cam, Dai, Co To, Nam Qui, and Ta Pa, etc. This is
the materials to produce hi-grade ceramic insulators.
- Bentonite clay: a soil containing many montmorillonite minerals, raw material commonly
used to produce degreasant and grease absorption in oil rig. Bentonite is found in communes
of Le Tri (Tri Ton District) with a relatively substantial reserve.
+ Gem and pearl distribute in mountains of Nam Qui and Ta Pa. The locals sometimes find
agate and fossil plants in paths paved with mountainous stone. There is rubby in some fringes
between granit and surrounding stone. Some kinds smoky quartz and violet quartz are found in
pegmatite sledges in mountains of Ba The and Ket.

In the last five years the economic structure has been shifting, especially the service sector.
The agriculture sector still accounts for a high ratio in the economic structure, meanwhile, the
industrial sector’s development remains slow and lacks key products, excluding food processing.
An Giang has been restructuring its economy by increasing the proportions of industries,
constructions and services and reducing the agriculture one. By 2015, agriculture-forestryfishery, industry and construction and service sector is planned to reach 25.24%, 17.56% and
57.2%, respectively.
The province focuses on economic development through six key economic programmes,
including agricultural and rural development programme; socio-economic infrastructure
development investment programme; investment and trade promotion programme; natural
resources and environment protection programme.

In the short term, particularly in 2013, the province will focus on promoting modern
agricultural production development, using high-tech applications as stated in the Resolution 09NQ/TU of the Provincial Party Committee, developing models of production - processing consumption combination in association with the National Target Programme on New
Countryside Construction. In addition, the province will continue to accelerate standard
agricultural production, apply appropriate production management models, and strengthen plant
and animal disease prevention.
In the long run, An Giang will plan large-scale commercial agricultural development, and
apply advanced science and technology to create organic, high-quality agricultural products to
meet the demand of domestic and international markets. It identifies that rice, tra and basa catfish
are the main products of the province. It will focus on improving high-quality seedlings and
breeds for the Mekong Delta region, and conducting research on suitable crops and animals for
the province and the region.
6.2 Agriculture – Aquaculture – Forestry
Please see Annex 4: Data of Agriculture, Forestry, Fishery, 1995, 2000-2011, An Giang
Province, page 23 and Annex 5: Data of agriculture and industry, page 25.
An Giang Province has considered rice, Tra catfish and Basa fish as its strategic products and
developed fisheries into a prioritized industry, focusing on quality of its aquatic products. As for
rice cultivation, An Giang’s rice production has increased continuously in recent years, reaching
3.8 million tons in 2012. This advancement is partially attributed to new technology options such
as ecologically based rodent management, the ‘Three Reductions, Three Gains’ program, and
greater use of high-quality seed. However, many farmers still use too much seed, fertilizer, and
pesticide, and experience high postharvest losses.
-
Agro-forestry-fishery area ensures the annual average growth rate in the period of 2006-2010
of 3.77%, in which agriculture increases by 4.1%, forestry 3%, and fishery 1.9%.
- Cultivation has step by step moved to goods production in association with the market,
enhancing the quality and value of products. There has been much attention paid on the
research and application of high yield seedlings and breeding animals that contributes to the
remarkable increase of output capacity of agricultural products.
- Breeding: the production value of the industrialized breeding keeps on increasing, 6.2% in
2010 compared to 5.19% in 2006.
- Forestry: Together with the development of concentrated forest, the planting of dispersed
trees also develops throughout the years, especially in rural and remote area (mostly along the
sides of canals, ditches, roadsides, estates, government offices, etc.).
- Fishery: The total area for aquaculture was 2,839.13 ha (2009) but expected to increase to
over 11,800 ha by 2020. The water surface is used for caged fish rearing, focusing on raising
quality and quantity of the rearing. Major rearing areas include Chau Doc River T-junction,
Hau River section in My Hoa Hung Commune, Tien River section in Vinh Xuong Commune,
Tan Chau District, Cai Rang River in Hiep Phu District and Tien River section in My Hiep
Commune. The aquatic products in 2010 are estimated at over 280,300 tons (1.55-fold
increase compared to 2005), remarkably contributing to the increase of the province’s export
turnover of aquatic products.
- Livestock: Livestock farming is growing under industrial forms and mechanics. Value of
livestock production has been increasing and accounting for high proportion of agriculture
(5.19% in 2005 and 6.2% in 2010).

The foreign trade activities in 2013 continues to encounter many contraints such as decreased
market demand, prolonged time of payment for export contracts, trade barriers in some key
markets, and decreasing sources of domestic raw material supply. Consequently, two mainstay
commodities of rice and sea product have decreased their proportion of over 85% to 68% in the
toal export turnover. Thriving business of other commoditis have contributed to the yearly export
turnover of 940 million US$, increasing 8,6%, and achieving the planned target. The import
turnover in 2013 is 110 million US$, increasing 8,9% as of the same period, and achieving
91.6% of the yearly planning. 13
