The management board of industrial parks in Ben Tre Province has revoked the investment licenses of five companies because of delays in implementing their projects.

The companies are A&B Animal Feed Production, Greenfield Organic Fertilizer Production, Hoang Thy Concrete Production, and two seafood processing companies, Le Anh and Cao Tri.

All of the companies planned to operate at Giao Long Industrial Park in An Phuoc Commune in Chau Thanh district with total rented area of 5.5ha and investment capital of more than VND200 billion (US$10.5 million).

The licences were granted last year but no factories have been built.

Giao Long has 21 investors with total rented area of 60ha, of which 10 are operating.

Last year, the Government approved the construction of five new industrial parks in the province, covering a total area of 1,200 ha.

The province has hastened infrastructure construction in an aim to attract more investors to its industrial parks.
