The Phuong Nam wood pulp mill in southern Long An province with an investmentof 3 trillion VND by the Transport, Communication, Development and InvestmentCorporation (Tracodi) was handed over to Vietnam Paper Corporation (Vinapaco)in 2009 in accordance with a prime ministerial decision.

The final one is the 12 trillion VND Ninh Bình Nitrogenous Fertiliser Plant bythe Vietnam Chemical Group’s Ninh Binh Fertiliser Plant.
