An oil refinery and several other interdisciplinary industrial parks will be constructed in a total area of 2,682ha in the Southern Phu Yen industrial zone in the 2015- 2025 period.

The region’s population is expected to reach 715- 725 thousand people by 2015, and about 840 thousand by 2025.

A general hospital with capacity of 900 beds along with other specialized ones will be built in South Phu Yen 1 economic zones.
Besides, South Phu Yen waterworks with capacity of 125,000 cu.m per day will be constructed by 2015 to serve the South Phu Yen economic zone./.
