Ninh Thuận province is sometimes seen as part of the Southeast region, the Southern.
History
The Cham principality of Panduranga had its center in Ninh Thuận province, but also included much of what is now Bình Thuận province. Panduranga became the political centre of Champa after the fall of Vijaya in 1471. It remained independent until 1832, when emperor Minh Mạng annexed it. In 1901, Phan Rang province was established and then renamed Ninh Thuận. Ninh Thuận province was merged into Bình Thuận province in 1976, together with Bình Tuy province, Ninh Thuận became a separate province again in 1991.

Overall population growth averaged 1.5%, which is the second highest in the South Central Coast after Da Nang.[6]

Economy
Ninh Thuận is southern Vietnam's poorest and least industrialized province. Nominal per capita GDP was 6.66 million
Agriculture, forestry, fishing
Ninh Thuận's agriculture is mostly based on rice. 33,400 ha out of a total of 70,000 ha were used for the cultivation of rice, followed by maize with 14,200 ha. Other less significant crops include cashew nuts, sugar-cane, peanuts, and coconuts.
Despite the large forests of the province, there is little commercial use of forest resources. Gross output of the forestry sector was 23.7 billion VND, accounting for only 1.8% of the South Central Coast, and therefore even less than Da Nang.[6] Much of the province's forests are protected as part of Núi Chúa National Park and Phước Bình National Park. These National Parks as well as the nearby Vịnh Vĩnh Hy attracted the building of Amanoi, a five star franchise hotel belonging to Aman Resorts.
Ninh Thuận's fishing gross output was 1138.8 billion VND in 2007, 1.3% of Vietnam's output and therefore more significant in a national context than agriculture. It has grown at an average of 11.7%, far exceeding agricultural growth and making it one of the fastest growing sectors of the economy.[6] As of 2007, there were 589 offshore fishing vessels registered in the province.[5]
Industry
Ninh Thuận has a very small industrial sector, with a gross output accounting for only 2% of the South Central Coast's total. Industry contributes 1.3 million VND to the GDP per capita, compared to an average of 4.4 million VND for the region.[6]
The province's industrial products are mostly basic processed food and seafood products (frozen aquatic products, fish sauce, shelled cashew nuts) and processed raw materials (stones, bricks, salt). However, the industrial sector's growth of 16.4% has enabled it to absorb much of Ninh Thuận's labor force growth by increasing industrial employment from 14,900 in 2000 to 43,700 in 2007 - although this employment growth has been overshadowed by the service sector, which created 57,300 additional jobs in the same period despite its slower growth.[5]
Infrastructure
Transport
Ninh Thuận is located along Vietnam's main north-south corridors.
Ninh Thuận has three ports:
- at Vịnh Vĩnh Hy in northeastern Ninh Hải District
- Ninh Chu Port in southern Phan Rang
- Cà Ná Port in the south of the province
The nearest commercial airport is Cam Ranh International Airport.
Energy
Ninh Thuận has become a renewable energy production base starting in the late 2020s, taking advantage of the local climate with the lowest annual rainfall, highest total solar heat radiation and fastest average wind speed in Vietnam.[9] However, it is located far from major load centers of Vietnam.[10]
As of 2021, around 100 ha of photovoltaic panels were already deployed in the province, with several projects still under construction.[9] Solar power capacity totaled 2,256 MW in 2021.[11]
Construction of a 200 MW wind power plant has also started and is planned to be completed by 2012.[12] The total planned wind power capacity is 1,429MW.[11]
Da Nhim hydropower plant is located in
