Phu Ha industrial zone successfully attracts Korean electronics enterprise
Most Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) enterprises usually focus their project development in provinces nearby Hanoi like Bac Ninh, Bac Giang, Vinh Phuc, Hai Duong, Hai Phong,… leading to an overload, lack of labor and competitiveness in salary. Therefore, currently, investors have a tendency to invest in farther provinces with abundant supply of cheap labor, despite their farther location from Hanoi.
