VietNamNet Bridge - Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung made fact-finding tours of the Mekong delta province of Hau Giang and the southernmost province of Ca Mau on Apr. 27-28. In Hau Giang, "the rice basket of the Mekong delta", the PM suggested the provincial authorities to focus on developing the processing industry to raise the living standard for the local people whose per capita income currently remains at $470 per year, much lower than the national average of $720. He noted the suggestion as one of the feasible solutions that Hau Giang should take into account in the course of making the province an industrial locality with good educational and cultural system.In Ca Mau, PM Dung urged the provincial authorities to exploit the locality's coastal feature to promote aquaculture, especially the breeding of shrimp, for export.The Government leader also discussed with local leaders the implementation of the Ca Mau electricity-gas-nitrogenous fertiliser project, an industrial complex of the national-scale.The Ca Mau thermo-electric power plant No. 1 has put its first turbine group into operation and the construction of the Ca Mau power plant No. 2 is underway for its operation slated for March 2008.
