It is also bordered by a 65km long coastline. Its geography creates favourable conditions for the province to develop transportation, trade and services, tourism and cultural exchange with other regions.

According to the Provincial Statistics Office, Tra Vinh’s Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) last year was estimated to increase by 14.85 percent, which was the highest jump compared to other provinces in the Mekong Delta region.

The agriculture, forestry and fishery sector posted a growth of 2.58 percent, industry and construction rose by 34.37 percent and service sector rose by 6.94 percent.
