Pontianak (ANTARA News) - A Vietnamese investor said it was set to make an investment in the agriculture sector, especially corn, in Kubu Raya regency.

"The Vietnamese investor has met with the local administration and hoped it could start investing this year," head of the West Kalimantan capital investment coordinating board M Zeet Hamdy Assovie said in Pontianak Sunday.

He added that actually Vietnam was only one of the countries whose investors were interested in food crops in Indonesia. "Investors from South Korea, Japan, and China were also interested in investment in West Kalimantan, because the province has vast plots of fertile land," he said.

West Kalimantan, he added, ranks ninth of the big ten countries with an interest in investment in Indonesia.

The West Kalimantan investment board is preparing a one-door integrated regional service, which is currently being introduced to Singkawang city, Bengkayang and Sambas regencies, M Zeet Hamdy Assovie said.

Nationally, the national investment coordinating agency (BKPM) has projected 70 one-door integrated service centers in 2010.
