1、Industry chain advantage

The core industry of the special economic zone is positioned as the building materials industry. Therefore, in the process of attracting investment and investing in enterprises, it will adhere to the principle of leading industry and its efforts to form an industrial chain to lay out the location relationship of the park. In this way, the complementary pattern of upstream and downstream industries is formed from the source. The nature and characteristics of industrial projects in the special zone are similar, and the needs of enterprises have common characteristics. Therefore, the special zone will provide service measures and service contents shared by the majority of enterprises according to the characteristics of the building materials product industry to meet the production and sales needs of enterprises as much as possible. The advantages of the industrial chain will be In daily production management, highlighting the formation of business conditions unmatched in other regions. At the same time, the construction scale of the special zone exceeds 10,000 mu, and there will be very mature production and living facilities, which can provide comfortable and beautiful living environment for enterprises and employees.

Mainly focus on building materials products in the process of developing Cambodian cities; supporting development of port logistics, export processing industry and modern service industry.

Kampot China-Cambodia (Thailand) Industrial Special Economic Zone is located near Kampot Port, 125 kilometers from Sihanoukville, the only deep sea port in Cambodia. The development and construction of the Kampot China-Cambodia (Thai Wenlong) Industrial Special Economic Zone will provide a large number of stable cargo sources for the port and promote the rapid growth of the port's throughput. Kampot China-Cambodia (Thai Wenlong) Industrial Special Economic Zone is a modern industrial park based on Kampot port, with heavy industry as the leading industry, and featuring environmental protection and ecological recycling economy. After completion, the employment population will reach 30,000 to 50,000. Utilize the port function and gather energy to develop port economy, and realize the coordinated development of port industry, port logistics industry, port business and port tourism. Taking the construction of a complete industrial chain and the formation of obvious advantages of industrial agglomeration as the development goal, we will strive to introduce projects with large investment scale, strong correlation, strong driving effect, and high product added value. Cultivating and promoting the concentration of enterprises is the goal and direction of the development of modern industrial parks. It is necessary to give full play to the regional advantages, industrial advantages and resource advantages of all regions, actively participate in the division of labor of regional productivity, and unswervingly follow the road of industrial cluster development. Relying on large and medium-sized projects such as iron and steel, ports, power generation, building materials, and mineral resources processing. Concentrate on cultivating and developing a number of small and medium-sized supporting industries with good benefits, and extend the upstream and downstream industrial chains of large industries.

2、Advantages of preferential policies in special economic zones

The policy advantages of the Cambodian Special Economic Zone can be understood from two levels, namely the difference between the two countries at the level of China and Cambodia and the policy difference between the special economic zone and the Cambodian broad market. Compared with China and ASEAN member countries, Cambodia has the lowest comprehensive tax level, which is only about 1/2 of China. At the same time, because Cambodia is in a backward economy, it enjoys the most favorable export tax treatment in Europe and America. The tax advantages of the origin of exports are even more difficult to compare. In Cambodia, in order to encourage the development of special economic zones, preferential preferential policies and service guarantee measures have been formulated, and detailed preferential treatments have been formulated in terms of import and export customs duties, corporate, personal income tax, and business tax in construction and production. Policies, from the centralized dispatch of on-site services by the government departments to the SAR, to the government’s behavior of entering the park for inspection and the integrity regulations, have corresponding regulations. At the same time, the tax service is more flexible and can be negotiated and paid according to the actual operating conditions of the enterprise (the specific preferential policies are attached). The SAR will provide a relaxed environment for the majority of enterprises.

3、Resource advantage

The special economic zone is positioned as a building material industrial park supported by abundant mineral resources in the special zone and in the effective zone of the special zone. The industrial planning results led by the special research of China Building Material Industry Planning and Design Institute are summarized mainly (detailed research report reference technology Information query column):

(1) Limestone resources

The reserves of limestone mines in the Taiwenlong Industrial Special Economic Zone reach more than 340 million tons, accounting for nearly half of Cambodia’s proven reserves. The CaO content is 49-54%, with high grade and stable quality, which can meet the types of cement, lime, calcium carbonate, etc. Industrial development needs. From a national perspective, the overall shortage of limestone resources in Cambodia is increasingly becoming a major factor restricting the development of other cement companies. Therefore, excellent resource conditions will create a significant competitive advantage for the Special Zone compared to other parks.

(2) Other mineral resources

Quartz sand resources are mainly distributed in the south coast of Kampot near the Twenty-one Industrial Special Economic Zone, especially in the Tuk Sap area of Kampot, with large scale and good quality, and the transportation distance is less than 50 kilometers. Provide high-quality raw materials for the development of the special zone glass industry.

Ceramic clay resources are widely distributed around the special zone, and the total amount can be guaranteed, but no specific geological work has been done. At present, there are already existing construction ceramic enterprises in the surrounding areas using local ceramic soil resources.

Iron ore resources are mainly produced in Preah Vihear Province, Shang Din Province, Siem Reap Province and Battambang Province in northern Cambodia. They are far away from the Thai Wenlong Industrial Special Economic Zone and have higher logistics costs. In addition, there is a small distribution of iron ore resources near the special zone, which can be used as iron correction raw materials for cement production, but it is difficult to provide protection for the steel smelting and processing industry.

Stone resources are also distributed in Kampot Province, where the special zone is located, mainly granite represented by red pomegranate and marble represented by black and white silver. There are also stone resources distributed in Chajiao Province within 100 kilometers of the special zone, which are decorative stones for the special zone Industrial development provides a favorable opportunity.

(2) Inland shipping:

The inland water system mainly includes the Mekong, Tonle Sap and Bassa Rivers, and there are 7 major river transport ports in the country, including Phnom Penh Port, Kampong Cham Wharf, Kikui Wharf, Shangting Wharf, Nara Wharf, Kampong Ching Yang Wharf and Chongne Wharf. In the rainy season, a 4000-ton ship can be traced back to Phnom Penh along the Mekong River, and in the dry season, a 2000-ton freighter can be navigable.

Sihanoukville is the second largest city in Cambodia and the only international port city in Cambodia. It is the only deep-water seaport with 12 berths equipped with modern cargo handling facilities and two waterways. Utilize the superior location of the port, the shipping conditions and the advantages of cheap shipping to build the Lingang Industrial Park, to develop a high-consumption, large-capacity heavy chemical industry for the Kampot China-Cambodia (Thai Wenlong) Industrial Special Economic Zone, and provide sufficient and low-cost raw material supply And convenient export of finished products.

(3) Maritime port:

Sihanoukville: At present, Cambodia’s only deep-water seaport has 2 berths. The port’s shipping lines can reach the United States, the European Union, China, ASEAN, and Australia and other countries and regions (mostly transit through Singapore).

Kampot Port: 10 km from Kampot provincial capital, 160 km from Phnom Penh, and about 110 km from the planned Phnom Penh New International Airport. In 2018, the 20,000-ton port port and channel dredging project of the Kampot Port and the 30,000-ton container port project were launched. After the completion of the project, the water depth of the Kampot Port will reach 13.5 meters, and it is expected that the 50,000-ton ship will be navigable to meet the needs of cargo import and export.

Koh Kong Port (Qixing Sea Port) has very favorable conditions for the construction of deep-water ports and has been included in the construction plan.

(4) Railway:

Cambodia has only two north-south railway lines, with a total length of 655 kilometers, both of which are single-track meters. The Phnom Penh-Poipet Railway has a total length of 385 kilometers and can be connected to Bangkok. The Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville Railway has a total length of 270 kilometers and is the main artery of transportation. The current status of railways in Cambodia’s passenger and freight transportation is not important.

(5) Aviation:

Cambodia’s main airlines include Siem Reap Airlines and Angkor Airlines.

There are five international routes: Phnom Penh-Bangkok, Phnom Penh-Ho Chi Minh City, Phnom Penh-Vientiane, Phnom Penh-Kuala Lumpur, Phnom Penh-Singapore.

The main routes of foreign airlines in Cambodia are: Phnom Penh-Haikou, Phnom Penh-Shenzhen, Phnom Penh-Bangkok, Phnom Penh-Guangzhou, Phnom Penh-Hong Kong, Siem Reap-Bangkok, Phnom Penh-Shanghai, Phnom Penh-Singapore, Phnom Penh-Taipei, Phnom Penh- Kaohsiung, Phnom Penh-Ho Chi Minh City, Phnom Penh-Vientiane, Phnom Penh-Phuket and other routes.

There are two international airports, Phnom Penh International Airport and Siem Reap Airport. Sihanoukville Port, Battambang, Shangding and other airports are domestic airports with regular flights and can take off and land small and medium aircraft. The transportation between Cambodia and China is convenient. A total of 15 airlines have opened direct flights from China to Cambodia.

At present, Qixinghai Airport is under construction, and expansion plans for Siem Reap, Westport and Phnom Penh airports are being implemented.

6、Supportive policy advantages of the “Belt and Road” key projects of the Chinese and Fujian provincial governments

The Fujian Provincial Government strongly supports the construction of Kampot China-Cambodia (Thai Wenlong) Industrial Special Economic Zone, which is included in the Fujian Province's key foreign investment projects and included in the Fujian Province's Top 100 Foreign Investment Key Project Database. Through efforts to become a national-level international capacity cooperation demonstration zone and member of the International Capacity Cooperation Alliance. In this way, in addition to enjoying the policy support of the Fujian Provincial Government's “Belt and Road” key projects, it will also enjoy the corresponding preferential policies of the “going out” projects at the national level. In the past two years, Fujian Province has issued a series of policies in promoting the “Belt and Road” initiative and promoting Fujian’s greater opening to the outside world, such as “Xiamen Haisi Investment Fund Management Measures” and “Fujian Province’s 21st Century Maritime Silk Road Core Area Innovation The “Implementation Plan for Driven Development”, “Draft Plan for National Economic and Social Development in 2019”, “Some Measures on Further Deepening Reform and Opening Up”, and “Opinions on Supporting the Accelerated Development of Civil Aviation”, etc. It is of strategic guiding significance for the countries along the “Belt and Road” to carry out investment, cooperation, property purchase and market development. It will also have important practical significance for the future economic development of Fujian Province and the building materials industry going global.

7、Advantages of timely information resource platform

The Special Economic Zone is a comprehensive platform jointly built by the China Building Materials Federation and the China Building Materials Planning Institute. It has obvious advantages in professional technology and industry resource information.

The China Building Materials Federation is the most representative large-scale comprehensive social organization in the fields of manufacturing, engineering, distribution, scientific research, and education in the building materials industry in the country. The China Building Materials Industry Planning and Research Institute is the only national comprehensive industrial consulting agency in the building materials industry in China. These two authoritative institutions in the building materials industry have established a close cooperative relationship with the special zone to jointly build a special zone platform. It can make good use of the position advantage of the Planning Institute in national policy and planning research, and connect with related national research departments such as the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Commerce, and the National Development Bank's "Belt and Road" special research project participation units to obtain relevant research for a fee. Achievements and basic data; use the China Building Materials Federation's external contact system to connect with the Cambodian embassy business organizations and Cambodian business services in China to obtain relevant policies and regulations, statistical information and data; especially the previous China Building Materials Planning and Design Institute The SAR took the lead in researching and formulating the SAR industry plan, taking advantage of the territorial advantages of Fujian Huaxia Institute, and through the Fujian Provincial Building Materials Association, the Fujian Provincial Government relevant building materials management department, the Fujian local building materials industry and the intention or have established factories or trade in Cambodia Visits and interviews of building materials companies in China to understand their demands and key points of concern.

8、Market Advantage

Cambodia is a traditional agricultural country. The industrial foundation, especially the building materials industry, has just started. Industrial products basically rely on imports from China and ASEAN Vietnam and Thailand. However, with the continuous and rapid development of the Cambodian economy and the dual pressures of the relatively weak national infrastructure, it shows that the market demand is strong, the demand time rhythm is more urgent, and the spatial performance is more extensive (see the investment environment and industrial planning chapter for details).
