Through initial discussions with provincial leaders, the QTSC Chain Management Council highly appreciated the potential of Ben Tre province. In addition, the province was only 85km away from Ho Chi Minh City and 120km from Can Tho. In which the province had 65km of coastline, so it has had great advantages in agriculture and fisheries economics.
