“Major transportation routes such as expressways and seaports have transformed Khanh Hoa into a strategic goods transshipment hub. Vinasc Real’s local collaborators continuously update the occupancy status and actual land lease prices of each industrial park, helping investors identify the optimal location to maximize logistics costs and best suit their supply chain.”

3. Population and the Labor Market

The labor market is one of the key factors determining the success of FDI projects. Khanh Hoa not only has an abundant labor force but also has advantages in terms of training quality, especially in marine economic and service sectors.

3.1. Population Size and Density

Khanh Hoa possesses a significant population, creating both a labor supply and a domestic consumer market:

  • Population Size: The total population of Khanh Hoa province is estimated at approximately 25 million people , making it an important consumer market and source of labor in the South Central Coast region.
  • Population Density: The average population density is approximately 240 people/km2 . This density indicates that the province has a moderate population distribution, with a high concentration in urban areas such as Nha Trang, Cam Ranh, and towns adjacent to industrial zones, making it easy to recruit workers and technical staff for factories.

3.2. Labor Force and Population Structure Characteristics

Khanh Hoa is currently in a “golden age of population” with a high proportion of young workers, which is a major advantage for labor-intensive and flexible industries.

  • Working-age workforce: Khanh Hoa’s working-age population remains high, accounting for over 60% of the total population. This is a competitive advantage in terms of a plentiful, stable, and trainable labor supply.
  • Rate of Youth/Aging Population: Khanh Hoa province is still maintaining a young population structure; however, with its development and investment attraction, the province needs to focus on improving the quality of vocational training to avoid a shortage of highly skilled technical personnel in the future.
  • Labor Quality: The province’s workforce has increasingly improved educational qualifications and skills. In particular, with its strengths as a training center for fisheries, tourism, and maritime technology , Khanh Hoa provides a highly specialized workforce for industries linked to the marine economy.

3.3. Conclusion: Advantages and Disadvantages for FDI Investors

To make informed investment decisions, investors need a comprehensive view, not only of the advantages but also of the real challenges in the local area. Vinasc Real compiles objective assessments based on market data and feedback from existing investors.

9.1. Strengths – Absolute Competitive Advantage

Khanh Hoa possesses rare strategic advantages, creating a strong attraction for FDI projects:

  • Superior Location & Logistics Infrastructure:
  • The “Golden Triangle” of transportation: Possessing the Cam Ranh/Van Phong International Deepwater Port and Cam Ranh International Airport (CMR) , along with the soon-to-be-completed North-South Expressway system . This optimizes the maritime and air supply chain, reducing international transportation costs.
  • Specific mechanism: The Van Phong Economic Zone applies special preferential mechanisms and policies regarding procedures and land, creating a competitive advantage over other economic zones in the region.
  • Attractive Tax Incentive Policies:
  • Applying the highest corporate income tax incentives and land lease fee exemptions as stipulated (especially in the Van Phong Economic Zone) is a decisive factor for high-tech and large-scale capital projects.
  • High-Quality and Specialized Human Resources:
  • The province has an abundant workforce, particularly one with specialized training in marine economics, fisheries, and tourism , which aligns with the province’s development orientation.

9.2. Weaknesses – Practical Challenges to Note

Despite its many advantages, investors still need to face several practical challenges when implementing projects in Khanh Hoa:

  • Limited Land Supply and Rapidly Rising Rental Prices:
  • Traditional industrial parks: Almost 100% occupied , very little clean land remains, leading to high rental prices due to scarcity.
  • New industrial parks: Although the new areas in the Van Phong Economic Zone are large, they are currently in the land clearance and infrastructure construction phase , requiring investors to be patient in terms of implementation time.

  • Rental price for ready-built factory space (RBF): Approximately 3.5 – 4.5 USD/m2 /month (excluding VAT and management fees).
  • Advice from Vinasc Real: Prices in the Van Phong Economic Zone are very flexible and may be eligible for long-term land lease fee exemptions if the project is in a priority category.
