Coming to Chanh Phu Hoa ward, drinking a glass of water at a roadside barn, only a few hundred meters away from the Nam Binh Duong waste treatment complex, we were surprised when the owner asked: How does this vehicle work so well? We said: "This is the most modern waste treatment complex in Southeast Asia, Binh Duong is a rare locality in the country. The complex is financed by the Government of Finland for official development assistance (ODA). This complex can turn domestic waste, industrial waste into organic fertilizer, building bricks and create fuel for running small power plants. If the product is good, we can export it." Thu laughed in disbelief what we said: "Garbage can export?"

We say that there is evidence that brick and tile products and organic fertilizer from this complex are sold widely in Binh Duong and some provinces in the South. The complex has just solved the waste problem in urban areas of Binh Duong has reproduced the product to serve consumption. If there are several more such complexes, Binh Duong can fully develop the waste treatment industry, create high quality products, be environmentally friendly and participate in the market. export.

In 2015, New Ong Bridge across the Thi Tinh River is accessible, helping to reduce traffic congestion when passing the old Ong Co Bridge. The completion of the new Ong Mo Bridge, DT 744 from the city of Phu Dau Mot, Phu An, An Tay of Ben Cat Town to Dau Tieng has smoothly developed industrial and urban development momentum in the region. This rich tradition of revolution (Iron Triangle). Specifically, 3 communes of An Dien, An Tay, Phu An of Ben Cat Town have more opportunities for economic development; These three provinces, which already have stable industrial parks, now have more incentives for further development.

Hang Vay Chi, General Director of Viet Huong Development Joint Stock Company, shared with us that Viet Huong 2 Industrial Zone was established in the early 2000s and has attracted nearly 50 domestic and foreign projects. invested with total capital of nearly 400 million USD.

This industrial park mainly attracts investment in hi-tech, electronic and auxiliary industries, which Binh Duong is calling for investment.

With the above-mentioned industrial zones, jobs have been created for tens of thousands of local and foreign workers. Industry development, the local Ben Cat Town is no longer dependent on rubber as before. Urban appearance is also forming in formerly purely agricultural communes such as An Tay and Phu An in the town. Particularly in Phu An commune, many new residential areas have sprung up; The accommodation has also appeared more and more, meeting the needs of workers from other provinces to work here. Nguyen Thi Tuyet Dieu, a native of Tien Giang province, is working for a company in Mai Trung Industrial Park with an income of seven million dong a month. Her husband works in Dai Nam tourist area, monthly salary is over 10 million. The husband and wife rent a room in Phu An commune costs 600,000 VND a month; The cost of living here is cheap, so each month she saved up over 4 million children to study children and send home to help families.

The Triangle of iron today, traffic system is smooth, connecting National Highway 13, My Phuoc - Tan Van Road, Ring Road 3, 4. In addition, thanks to the advantage of the Saigon River and the Thi River Covering and facilitating the development of waterway transport, the Triangle area with 3 communes of An Dien, An Tay and Phu An benefited greatly from the industrial development of Ben Cat town.
