Soc Trang is adjacent to Hau Giang Province to the north and northwest, Bac Lieu Province to the south and southwest, Tra Vinh Province to the northeast, and the East Sea to the east and southeast by a coast of 72 km.

With an area of 3,311 km

2

, accounting for 8.05% of the Mekong Delta and 0.98 %of the whole country, Soc Trang is situated along National Road (NR) no. 1A which links the province with Can Tho City, provinces of Hau Giang, Bac Lieu, and Ca Mau. Soc Trang is 231 km from

HCMC and 62 km Can Tho City by NR no. 1A.

The Hau River is an important gateway for waterway communication with other provinces, especially Kampuchea about 100 kilometer upstream and the East Sea downstream. There are 3 large estuaries of Dinh An, Tran De, and My Thanh forming a wide basin for communication, aquaculture, and salt production. Soc Trang has a strip of island in the Hau River which stretches to the sea and is endowed with many types of fruit trees, fresh and pure air, and ideal site for ecological tourism development.

1.2 Population

2

Please see Annex 1: Population of Soc Trang Province, 1995, 2000-2011, page 16

Soc Trang has a small population in the Mekong Delta. The population increase is mainly by natural growth. In the 1990s of the previous century, the natural growth rate was relatively high, being over 2%/year (1992: 2.14%, 1993: 2.11%, 1994: 2.06%), due to high birth rate. The growth has decreased considerably since 1995 thanks to the Family Planning Program (1995:

2%, 2000: 1.62%, 2003: 1.5.)

Soc Trang has a low population density. According to the General Statistics Office, the population density in 2008 was 393 people/km

2

, ranking 9/13 in the Mekong Delta. The people dwell along roads, rivers, streams, or sand ridges, etc. Soc Trang City has the highest population density where 10% of the provincial people live in. Districts along the Hau River have a higher population density, especially Ke Sach and My Xuyen. Meanwhile, Dung Island District has the lowest density. The low urban population rate and slow change prove that the urbanization rate is very slow.

Population structure

- Soc Trang has a young population. The age group under 15 years old accounts a high rate while the group over 60, a lower rate. The population at labor age is about 59% of total provincial population.

- There are more female than male. However, the tendency has changed in recent years. In

1993, the male-female correlation was 48.20%-51.80%, changing to 49.12% (639,500)-

50.88% (662,200%)

2 Topography and climate 4

Soc Trang has flat plains mixed with elevated sand ridges at the coastal area and sunken areas affected by salinity and alum. Its average height of 0.5-1 m above sea level is lower from the north – northwest (the bank of Hau River) to the south – southwest and from the east – southeast (coastline in Vinh Chau Town) to the west-southwest.

The terrain inclination is about 45 cm/km. The subterrian has a wavy irregular form, alternated with high sand ridges and sunken areas affected by salinity and alkalinity. They are deposit traces of the marine transgresion and regression period, forming sand ridges and sunken swamps in districts of My Tu, My Xuyen, Long Phu, Vinh Chau, and Soc Trang City. The alkaline area shows a degree of concavity in the west and along Cai Con Canal, having a very low elevation from 0 - 0,5 m, which is inudated during the rainy season. The island area in the

Hau River has also a very low elevation which is affected by high tides. Consequenlty, the locals’ production in both areas needs a system of surrounding dike to control flooding.

There is a network waterways influenced by the semi-diurnal regime with tide variations from 0.4 to 1 m, which is closely linked with the locals’ production and provides interesting facts for tourists during their sightseeing tours on the ecological system of natural forests. Strong winds during the dry season force the tidal influence further inland than it occurs during the rest of the year. The interaction between winds, tides, and river flow influences the natural environment of the estuarine areas. Being at a low elevation, almost the entire estuarine area is intruded by salinity through the numerous streams and canals. Moreover, along the 72-km coastline of Soc Trang, the deposition and erosion processes are very dynamic due to natural factors like currents, tides, wind, and waves which cause severe erosion along the coast.

Climate

Soc Trang has tropical climate influenced by the sea, with 2 distinct seasons: the rainy season is from May to October and the dry season from November to April of the next year. The average temperature is 26.7

o C, rising to maximum of of 28.2

o C and lowering to minimum of

25 o

C. The average rainfall is 1,799.5 mm and the average sunshine 2,372 hours. The wind speed is relatively high, reaching 2.2 m/s because the province is located near the East Sea and the Gulf of Thailand. Storms concentrate in July and September accompanied by whirlwind in July and frequent flooding in August but their occurence is very few . Frost arrives in December and

January every year.

In general, diversified agriculture can be developped with many tropical trees while high temperature and humidity help promote biomass growth and increase the plant productivity.

However, fresh water deficiency poses major difficultires for daily living and economic development. The locals’ agriculture production has encountered more constraints in recent years because of climate change, especially for those living in coasts of areas lacking fresh water.

Scientists have warned that by the end of the 21 st centurey, the climate change will inundate

43.5% of the provincial territory. The weather of Soc Trang in particular and of the Mekong

Delta in general has had many abnormal changes, e.g., blazing heat during the dry season, premature and deeper intrusion of saline water, prolonged rains associated with offshore storms hitting the ground, which had never happened formerly.

The soil is classified into 6 main categories

- Sandy soil covers an area of 8,491 ha along the coast, being generated by silt, sea waves and wind at an average elevation of 1,2 – 2 m. Its mechanical properties are light, mainly sand and sand mixed with heavy earth, being suitable to plant some vegetable crops.

- Alluvium soil, 6,372 ha, distributes mainly along Hau River banks of Ke Sach District and in the north of Long Phu District. The terrain is average and high, near fresh water area, and easily drained for paddy and fruit tree cultivation.

- Saline soil,158,547 ha, distributes in coastal area or sluice gates along big rivers, being suitable for cultivation of paddy, vegetable crops, fruit trees, short-term and perenial industrial plants, etc.

- Other type of saline soil is used for paddy and fishery farming.

- Alum soil, 75,823 ha, concentrates in low terrain area such as Soc Trang City, districts of

Thanh Tri and My Tu. It is affected by salinity intrusion in the dry season and inundated by alum during the rainy season. Paddy cultivation combined with fishery farming are practiced in this area.

The province faces difficulty of fresh water shortage and salinity intrusion during the dry season. Moreover, some areas are affected by alum. However, it is still favorable for development of agriculture, aquaculture, and eco-tourism thanks to islands of Ke Sach, Long

Phu, and Cu Lao Dung where there are plenty of tropical fruits.

3.2 Water resources

The density of canal and river network is 0.2 km/km 2 . The provincial terrain is affected by the semi-diurnal tide, varying from 0.4 – 1 m. Some areas of districts of My Tu and Thanh Tri

/second in the dry season. Other smaller rivers are Nhu Gia, Du Tho, and My Thanh.

- Underground water: there are 2 aquifers at 100 - 180 m depth with good quality and at 5 m -

30 m depth which depend on rainy water and is affected by salinity during the dry season.

Soc Trang authorities must close all sluices to prevent saline intrusion in the dry season, resulting in stagnant waters. Meanwhile, the provincial sea product plants continue to discharge their sewage, causing water pollution in canals and streams. Consequently, the province is forced to fine the enterprises which do not equip their plants with sewage treatment systems.

3.3 Mineral resources

The main mineral resources are clay which is distributed scatterly in the province and mainly used to produce bricks and tiles. The sand reserve along coastal areas is about 8 billion m

3

, however, its trade value is low. Surveying the continental shelf shows that there is prospect of off-shore oil and gas exploitation.

3.4 Forest resources 8

According to information of Soc Trang provincial website, the forest area is 12,172 ha with main trees of cajeput, nipple palm ( Nypafructicas) , Sonneratia, Excoecaria, and Bruguiera distributed in two districts of Vinh Chau and Long Phu. The forest comprises two main types: the coastal mangrove swamp and the cajeput forest under alum affect. In addition, there is an area of productive forest of 5,600 ha, planting mainly cajeput in two districts of My Tu and

Thanh Tri. Total exploited volume of wood is 36,000m

3

and the value of forestry production is

54.2 billion VND (as of constant price in 1994) in 2008.

3.5 Sea resources

Soc Trang has 72 km coastline (accounting for 2.21 % of the national coastline) with three main estuaries of Tran De, Dinh An, and My Thanh, providing advantageous conditions to develop its maritime economy, especially in aquaculture and fisheries, maritime transport, and tourism. Survey results show that there are 661 species of surface and ground fish, 35 species of shrimp, including lobster and dragon shrimp, and 23 squid species including cuttlefish, squid, calamary, and many species of crabs and mollusks. The reserve is approximate 1.2 million tons with an exploitable volume of 630,000 tons a year. Initial results of maritime survey showed the availability of off-shore oil and gas on the continental shelf of Soc Trang coast.

Please See Annex 3: Data of Agriculture

Aquaculture and Forsestry, Soc Trang Province, 2000-2011, page 18

Soc Trang has its strength in agriculture and fishery. The provincial GDP growth was

10.23% in 2008, of which the Agriculture – Forestry – Aquaculture was 7.22%, achieving the production value of nearly 9,643 billion VND. The production value per ha of agriculture land is

56.22 million VND. Soc Trang continues to confirm that aquaculture is the key economic sector in terms of raising, capture, and processing for export.

+ Agriculture

The agriculture accounted for 36.9% of the provincial GDP and 93% of Sector I in 2003.

Planting comprise paddy, cash crops, and other fruit trees. Despite of decreasing paddy area from

370,000 ha in 2000 to 322,300 ha in 2008, the paddy output has increased from 1,618,000 to

1,743,500 tons thanks to scientific application in cultivation. The province has also cultivated over 53,000 ha of cash crops, short-term industrial plants, and transformed 2,000 ha of mixed garden into fruit tree of high quality. The total paddy area in 2012 is 365,909 ha with an average yield of 6.15 tons/ha. Total paddy output is 2.25 million tons.

The province focuses its resources to develop areas planting specialities for higher output and value. Initially, fragrant rice production for export will be strengthened in districts of Nga Nam,

Thanh Tri, My Xuyen, Vinh Chau, and Long Phu to increase to 100,000 ha in 2020. Red onion area in Vinh Chau District will be remained at 4,000 ha for a yearly output of over 80,000 tons despite of price fluctuation. Some cash crops such as sweet potatoe, Japanese okra, chilly, aubergine, mushroo, etc. have been introduced in the fields of Lieu Tu (Long Phu District), Ba

Trinh (Ke Sach District), Vinh Bien, Vinh Quoi (Nga Nam District).

+ Aquaculture

Fishery is considered as the key economy. The export turnover in 1992 was only 25.3 million

US$ and depended on 2 enterprises, increasing 378.8 million US$ in 2007 by 6 enterprises. The provincial sea product processing factrories have been granted certificates of HACCP (Hazard

Analysis and Critical Control Point System) and European CODE. The output of fishery in 8 months of 2009 was 54,853 tons, including 18,750 tons of shrimp. Total fishery yield in 2012 is

178,600 tons, of which the fishing is 53,100 tons and the rearing is 125,500 tons. The output of shrimp raised in brackish water in 2012 is 50,800 tons.

14

In recent years, Soc Trang fishery turnover averaged out at over 356 million US$, many export seafood processing companies have upgraded their production lines. Their products are accepted by the international market. Many seafood processing companies have obtained certification of international standards such as: ISO, GMP, HACCP, and CODE. In 2012, the province produced and processed approximately 29,300 tons of frozen shrimp and 14,673 tons of

จัดท ำโดย สถำนกงสุลใหญ่ ณ นครโฮจิมินห์ กันยำยน 2557 other fisheries, total export fishery turnover reached 356 million US$, which significantly contributed in the economic development of the province, not only restructure agricultural production and rural economic towards seasonal transformation. The achievement has not only promoted the potential advantages and improved production efficiency value per area unit of arable land but also addresseed employment and income for the people.

+ Farming

The water surface for fish farmming in 2006 was 63,500 ha for an output of 113,950 tons and a production value of 2,962 billion VND (at constant price 1994). The farming area has increases 67,700 ha in 2008 and an out put of 169,500 tons and a value of 3,623 billion VND (at constant price 1994).

The fish faming has been thriving in recent years, especially the models of tiger shrimp intensive and semi-intensive rearing. Other models of giant fresh water prawn, fish, and basa fish in districts along the Hau River have been invested considerably together with fishery logistics facilities and services. The yield of industrial shrimp rearing in districts is 8-10 tons/ha of water surface and that of semi-intensive farmning is 3 tons/ha. The province has planned to rear white led shrimp in communes from Lai Hoa, Vinh Tan, Vinh Phuoc to Vinh Chau Townlet (Vinh

Chau District) and by using industrial models along the My Thanh River (districts of Long Phu,

My Xuyen, and Vinh Chau) for an area over 3,000 ha.

+ Capture

There were 4,774 means of aqua product capture in 2005, including 959 fishing boats with a total capacity of 54,317 HP, 70% of which can operate offshore. The yearly output of capture is

24,435 tons, including 2,132 tons of shrimp. The fishing grounds cover the provincial water territory and in provinces of Ba Ria – Vung Tau, Ca Mau, and Kien Giang.

+ Forestry

Forestry plays an insignificant role in the provincial economy, accounting only 0.71% of

GDP and 1.8% of GDI in Sector I. The forest area in 2008 was 10,500 ha, including 1,400 ha of natural forest, for a coverage rate of 1.7%. The wood output in 2008 was estimated at 35,600 m

3

, achieving a production value of 54.2 billion VND (at constant price 1994). In the value production structure, wood and frest product exploitation accounts for over 90%. Despite of low economic efficiency, Soc Trang forestry plays a specially important role in preservation of ecosystem.

6.3 Export and Import

The fishery export turnover of Soc Trang ranks no. 2 in Vietnam, after Ca Mau Province. Soc

Trang has registered a high growth in export turnover, from 219.32 million US$ in 2001 to

338.67 million US$ in 2009. Apart from its major export items such as rice and seafood, the province has also exported mushrooms, onions, salted duck eggs, and salted buffalo skin. Soc

Trang seafood export develops vigorously due to restructuring agriculture towards sustainability.

Moreover, regions providing raw materials to seafood processing and export have kept steady supply. Aquatic products have been exported to the markets in 160 countries, comprising main buyers from Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, and Taiwan, while also penetrating into such difficult markets as the EU and the US.

6.5 Industry 16

The provincial industry and handicraft are taking steps to develop strongly, in which export seafood processing industry has a special role and is considered the key economic sector of the province. By late 2012, industrial production value reached 7,902 billion VND.

Handicraft sector is developing steadily, not only serve the domestic demand but also be accepted in the strict markets such as U.S., Japan, Europe with Pia cake brands e.g. Tan Hue

Vien, Quang Hung, Lap Hung, Cong Lap Thanh, and more than 50 Pia bakeries in Vung Thom craft-village of Ke Sach District.

- Rice processing especially rice milling is among major industries. Significant changes in technology have been applied to improve rice production. The province’s state owned enterprise Sotrafood has been operational since 04/2009, specialising in agriculture products and food business. It received good investment from the state (lately 40 billion VND for upgrading its facilities such as 3 milling and polishing systems and storage of 45,000 tons.

Sotrafood purchases rice from domestic farmers, does the milling and processing, and export or sell to local market with total capacity of 50,000 – 70,000 tons per year.

- Fishery processing for export is another primary industry. There are 6 enterprises from both private and state sector participating in the industry by the end of 2008. Major ones include

Ut Xi, Sao Ta, Kim Anh and Phuong Nam. These seafood producers create about 13,000 jobs and have a total annual capacity of 78,250 tons of finished product. However, inadequate input supply, lack of labourers and foreign market’s difficulties are posing challengers to the province. Seafood exporters usually face the difficult situation of raw material shortage in the end of the season but abundance in the beginning. In addition, diminishing workforce and inefficient management of machine and equipments also cause difficulties to the industry.

- Sugarcane processing is a traditional industry. Soc Trang Sugarcane Company is the largest producer in the province and has the capability to process 1,800 to 2,200 tons per day. Every season, the company requires a sugarcane input of about 400,000 tons which is equivalent to

1/3 of the province’s total output for producing 40,000 tons of white sugar.

- Soc Tang’s mechanical manufacturing industry specializes in tool making for agricultural purpose. It is underdevelopeded and has limited adding value.

- The manufacture of building material mainly produces brick and tile. The province has a modern brickyad with total yearly output of 23 million pieces.



14


- Mining and chemical industry are shrinking. Main production includes sand exploitation and daily plastic products or polypropylene fiber.

- Handicraft is still underdevelopeded over years. The industry suffers from low skilled workforce and limited output without characteristic products, only meeting the locality’s demand. Major ones include production of Pia cake, incense and mat. These are built on craftsman’s creativity and cleverness, bringing with it the cultural characters of the region.

6.6 Investment 17
