Overview
Binh Duong Province is adjacent to the north of Ho Chi Minh City and is one of Vietnam's most industrialized provinces. However, rubber plantations spread across the hilly areas in the north, and agriculture is also an important industry. It is home to the base of Geruco (Vietnam Rubber Group), Vietnam's largest rubber corporation.
Features of agriculture
Natural rubber production is the pillar of Binh Duong Province's agriculture. Historic rubber plantations dating from the French colonial era still operate, but the plantation area is on a declining trend due to advancing urbanization. There are increasing cases of industrial parks being built on the sites of former rubber plantations.
Cashew nuts, fruit trees (rambutan, mangosteen), and poultry farming are also carried out.
Main agricultural products
Natural rubber, cashew nuts, rambutan, mangosteen, chicken and eggs
