Bangkok: AMATAV has set an ambitious goal of selling 500 rai of land in Vietnam by 2025, with an expected total revenue of 6 billion baht. In the first half of the year, the company has already achieved 20% of its land sales target.
According to Thai News Agency, Ms. Somhathai Phanitchawiwa, Director and Chief Executive Officer of Amata VN Public Company Limited (AMATAV), stated that the company will continue its strategy of expanding industrial estates to attract foreign investors. The company plans to launch new projects in Quang Tri Province, a strategic hub for transportation and logistics in Vietnam.
