1. Industrial planning background

At the beginning of its establishment, the Thai Wenlong Industrial Special Economic Zone must make strategic judgments on its industrial positioning. Such decisions and judgments directly reflect the wisdom of investors to determine the success or failure of the entire investment. After comprehensively analyzing the situation in China and Cambodia and internationally, especially focusing on various factors such as Cambodia's politics, economy, society, region, humanities, market, etc., the industrial body of the special zone is determined to be the building materials industry, which has laid the foundation for the development of the special zone . In order to further demonstrate the scientificity and reliability of this decision-making direction, reduce the investment risk of the owners of the SAR and the enterprises entering the park, increase the pertinence and effectiveness of the enterprises that attract investment, and avoid blind blind SARs, further research and demonstration must be done. Guiding or misleading an enterprise's investment based solely on feelings, inferences, hearing and even imagination and desire. The Special Economic Zone adopts a rigorous attitude and scientific concept that is highly responsible to itself and the enterprises entering the park, and does not hesitate to spend considerable expenses to carry out systematic, comprehensive, scientific and rigorous industrial planning of the Special Zone. The direct purpose of industrial planning is to promptly re-scientifically demonstrate the early industrial positioning decisions and directly guide the scientific settlement of investment enterprises. After nearly a year (from November 16, 2018 to the end of 2019), the research has formed the final results.

In the selection of participating industrial planning units, the Special Zone considers more the strength and level of participating units, their position and advantages in the industry, their geographical and subsequent technical guidance for investment companies, and ultimately planning with China Building Materials Industry The design institute and the China Energy Design Institute of Fujian Energy Group reached an agreement to jointly undertake the industrial planning and research work of the special zone.

In the way of investigation and research, more emphasis is placed on the scene, to the authoritative department, to the field, the scientific method of investigation and statistics, the conclusion is clear, the arguments are true and sufficient, to ensure the practicality of the research results.

China Building Materials Industry Planning and Research Institute is the only national comprehensive industrial consulting agency in the building materials industry in the country, while Fujian Huaxia Energy Design and Research Institute Co., Ltd. is a wholly state-owned company with construction engineering, ecological environmental protection and safety technology as its main business. A comprehensive comprehensive scientific research design technical service and consulting enterprise with complete professional categories. In order to better assist the industrial zone to promote investment promotion and the introduction of industrial resources, help settled companies to better reduce investment risks, and clarify the development direction of the building material industry in the industrial zone, the special zone specially commissioned the China Building Materials Industry Planning and Research Institute and Fujian Huaxia Energy Design The two units of the Research Institute Co., Ltd. jointly took part in domestic research, on-site research in Cambodia, planning outline research, planning preparation, soliciting opinions, expert certification, revision and improvement, etc., starting from the actual local situation and fully considering the international and domestic and regional economic development trends. To make scientific plans for the local industrial development positioning, industrial system, industrial structure, industrial chain, spatial layout, economic and social environmental impact, implementation plans, etc., and jointly complete the industrial planning of the Kampot, Cambodia, Cambodia (Thailand) Industrial Special Economic Zone The preparation work.

From March 2nd to 13th, 2019, China Building Materials International Production Capacity Cooperation Enterprise Alliance entrusted the Vice President of China Building Materials Industry Planning and Research Institute, Kong An, and Deputy Chief Engineer Sheng Xiaoning, and a group of 6 to Cambodia for economic development and investment policy of the Kingdom of Cambodia In-depth and comprehensive investigations were conducted on the investment environment, development of the construction industry, building materials resources, and market demand for building materials products, which provided important support for Chinese building materials companies to invest in Cambodia and promote their “going global” to implement international strategies.

Cambodia is an important fulcrum for advancing the “Belt and Road” initiative. In recent years, Cambodia’s political situation has been stable, and its economic development has maintained a growth rate of more than 7%. It is currently one of the countries with the fastest economic development in the world. In recent years, bilateral economic and trade relations have continued to develop, and China has become the largest source of foreign investment in Cambodia. Since 2015, infrastructure construction and real estate development have grown rapidly in Cambodia. However, the foundation of the Cambodian building materials industry is weak, and the supply of building materials is seriously inadequate, requiring large amounts of imports from my country and neighboring countries. During their stay in Cambodia, the team visited Kampot, Phnom Penh, Kratie, Battambang, Kampong Cham, Koh Kong, Sihanouk and other provinces and cities, and visited major government departments, financial institutions, special economic zones and industrial parks in Cambodia. A total of 30 units including the Building Materials Association, Building Materials Enterprises and Building Materials Market conducted field investigations.

At the Cambodian Development Council, the Ministry of Land Management and Urban Development and Construction, the Ministry of Mines and Energy, the Ministry of Environmental Protection and other government departments and the Economic and Commercial Office of the Chinese Embassy in Cambodia, the members of the inspection team fully listened to Cambodia’s macroeconomic development, economic policies, investment environment, and minerals. Introduction of resources, environmental protection, infrastructure construction, etc. Vice President Kong An and his party conducted in-depth exchanges and discussions with various government departments on the development conditions of the Cambodian building materials industry, including the guarantee conditions for mineral resources, energy supply, and human resources that support the development of the building materials industry, as well as land and environmental protection requirements.

The team also visited Sihanoukville Special Economic Zone, Kratie Industrial Park, Thai Wenlong (Kombu) Industrial Special Economic Zone, China-Cambodia Industrial Park, Cambodia-China Comprehensive Investment Development Pilot Zone (Qixinghai Industrial Park), etc. These industrial special economic zones and industrial parks are mainly Chinese-funded enterprises. The Sihanoukville Special Economic Zone is the largest special economic zone in Cambodia approved by the Cambodian government. It is also the only special zone between China and Cambodia that has reached strategic cooperation at the national level. The inspection team and the management organization of Kakui Industrial Park conducted a comprehensive discussion on issues related to the policy of environmental access of the special zone industry, the status of the special zone and the development of the building material industry. The Thai Wenlong Industrial Special Economic Zone is located in Kampot Province. The basic function of the park is to build an investment platform focused on the building materials industry and provide a high-quality development platform for building materials enterprises in Fujian and even the country to actively respond to the “Belt and Road” initiative and carry out international production capacity cooperation. The research team visited the Meridian International Holding (MIH) company and the China-Cambodia Industrial Park in Kampong Cham Province, as well as R&F Huafu, TCC Triumphal Arch, Xinghui Seaview Bay and other projects to fully understand the project overview, building structure, building materials sources and prices , Human resources, future development potential, etc. With the vigorous development of the Cambodian construction industry, more and more Chinese-funded building materials companies are paying attention to the Cambodian market, generating strong trade and investment will, and will have a huge market demand for building materials products, not only contributing to Cambodia’s economic development The local employment problem also opens up a vast market space for enterprises to enter the international market.

The two entrusted units have a very intuitive, comprehensive and in-depth understanding of Cambodia’s investment policy, investment environment, market demand, building materials enterprises or project implementation conditions and feasibility, etc. Corresponding building materials product information, raw and auxiliary materials resource information, production cost components, relevant preferential policies in special economic zones and convenient service measures, and supporting policies and measures for the “Belt and Road” project in China and Fujian Province were collected; and Collected and analyzed the production capacity information of building materials enterprises in Fujian Province (a few special products are for the whole country), and introduced the classification of building materials industrial projects and the comprehensive analysis and judgment of the key factors of each specific industrial project selected. This has important practical significance for the next step to promote the cooperation between China and Cambodia in building material production capacity and the common development of the building materials industry of the two countries.

2. Overview of industrial planning achievements

Cambodia Kampot China-Cambodia (Taiwanlong) Industrial Special Economic Zone is the first in Cambodia built by Fujian China-Cambodia Investment Co., Ltd. and Cambodia’s largest business group-"Taiwanlong Group" with the high concern and support of the Fujian Provincial People’s Government. A specialized industrial zone for cooperation in building materials international production capacity. The special zone is located in Kampot, Cambodia. The overall planned construction area is 982.6 hectares. In order to clarify the development direction of the building materials industry in the special economic zone, and to guide the special zone to carry out international cooperation in building material production capacity between China and Cambodia, the special zone hires an authoritative consulting agency in the field of domestic building materials-China Building Materials Industry Planning and Research Institute to compile the Cambodian Kampot China-Cambodia (Thai Wenlong) Industrial Economy "Special Zone Industrial Planning", carried out from five major aspects including the current situation and demand trend of the Cambodian building materials industry, the basic conditions for the development of the building materials industry in the special zone, the development positioning and industrial system structure of the special zone, the industrial layout and construction plan of the special zone, the guarantee conditions and the implementation of the plan System planning and research, the introduction is as follows:

(1), sort out the current status of Cambodia's building materials industry and predict the future demand trends

First of all, the plan systematically sorts out and summarizes the development status of the Cambodian building materials industry, and points out that Cambodia is still in the development stage of “the building materials industry has a very weak foundation and most products except cement are highly dependent on imports”.

Second, the plan systematically sorted out Cambodia’s economic and social development level, political environment, and investment policy environment (laws and regulations, development planning plans, investment policies, land policies, environmental protection policies, taxation policies), etc., and judged that “Cambodia’s economic growth momentum continues to be strong. And take the building materials industry as an industrial direction that will vigorously support development in the future."

Finally, combined with urban housing construction, rural housing construction and infrastructure construction in Cambodia, etc., the demand and scale of the main building materials products in 2020 and 2025 are researched and predicted, and the overall judgment is "the market value of building materials is about 13 billion US dollars, and various The demand for building materials has grown significantly."

(2). Assess the basic conditions for the special economic zone to undertake the development of the building materials industry

The planning starts from various aspects such as location, transportation, port, construction land, mineral resources, energy, manpower and other necessary elements for industrial development, and systematically summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of the special zone to undertake the development of the building materials industry. The conclusions are as follows:

Advantages: location conditions (the special zone is located on the eastern coast, 123 kilometers away from Phnom Penh and 125 kilometers away from Sihanoukville Port), traffic conditions (easy to contact Phnom Penh and Sihanouk via Highway 3 and Highway 4), Port conditions (adjacent to the upgrade and reconstruction of the Kampot port, capable of navigating 50,000-ton ships, and 125 kilometers away from Sihanoukville deep-water port), mineral resources conditions (special zone own 340 million tons of limestone reserves, high taste; quartz sand near the special zone , Rich in stone and ceramic clay resources), land conditions (651.97 hectares of construction land, flat terrain, which is conducive to development)

Disadvantages: energy security conditions (temporary power supply is insufficient, and the solution is being promoted; coal needs to be imported), human resources conditions (abundant labor resources, low wage costs, but lack of professional skills), weak mineral exploration foundation (weak resource exploration foundation, Is speeding up the resolution).

(3), clarify the industry direction, build an industrial system structure

The plan carries out a systematic analysis from the four dimensions of domestic investment opportunities, export market opportunities, production capacity cooperation opportunities, and undertaking basic conditions. Relying on the advantages of resources and origin, to connect the domestic market and the export market, it is proposed that the special zone will be formed to build materials processing and logistics trade. The “2+N” model building material industry system for core functions, namely:

"2"-Two leading industries, the limestone comprehensive development sector and the metal smelting and processing sector. Among them, the limestone comprehensive development sector recommends the development of "cement, building aggregate, ready-mixed concrete, concrete poles and drains, calcium oxide (lime), light calcium carbonate, heavy calcium, and putty powder"; the recommended development of the metal smelting and processing sector" "Steel products, steel structure, aluminum foil, aluminum strip, aluminum alloy doors and windows, curtain wall" and other projects.

"N"-a number of major industries, including glass deep processing industry, chemical building materials, structural enclosure decoration materials, reserve industry, etc., specifically recommend the development of "flat glass, processed glass for construction and decoration, glassware bottles, plastic pipes, construction Paints, industrial coatings, concrete admixtures, calcium silicate boards, partition boards, color steel plates, concrete aerated blocks, wrought iron fences, red blank ceramic tiles, dry-hanging hollow ceramic plates, stone plate processing, stone carvings and other projects.

(4), clarify the functional zoning and implement the industrial layout

The plan proposes a reasonable layout of the special zone construction plan in combination with the industrial direction. First of all, the land of the special zone is considered overall, and the functional divisions are divided: public service area, commercial area, living area, industrial development area, resource development area and park, as shown below.

Then, in order to facilitate the layout of the construction project and the subsequent implementation and development, the plan further subdivides the industrial development zone, including storage logistics, comprehensive development of limestone, metal smelting and processing, glass deep processing, chemical building materials, structural enclosure decoration materials, and reserve industrial zones. The rational layout of the seven major industrial sites is shown below.

(5), the implementation of the security plan, formulating measures and countermeasures

The plan proposes safeguard measures and suggestions from the perspectives of the implementation of the safeguard plan, the improvement of the software and hardware conditions of the SAR, and the improvement of the service and support capacity of the settled enterprises, mainly on the implementation of power guarantee conditions, promotion of investment promotion, convenient and smooth logistics channels, and resource supply Improvement measures and suggestions have been put forward in preliminary investigations, clarification of preferential policies for entering the park, provision of security services for entry, and skills training of personnel. At present, we are actively promoting major issues such as the improvement of power bottleneck restrictions and investment attraction.
