HCM CITY (Biz Hub) — Confectionary producer Mondelez Kinh Do Viet Nam announced on Monday that it has exported a consignment of moon cakes to the US.

It did not say how much it shipped, merely telling Viet Nam News that this was the first time it exported moon cakes to the US through Mondelez International's distribution system in its home country.

The consignment was sent by sea, the company said, adding the cakes were meant for Asians celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Mondelez Kinh Do Viet Nam said besides the US the cakes would also be exported to other Asian markets this year.

The production volumes for the domestic and export markets would be revealed later, the company said.

Mondelez Kinh Do used to be Kinh Do Corporation confectionery company, 80 per cent of which was sold to Mondelez International Company for US$370 million a year ago. — VNS
