The first phase of a large-scale clean egg factory will be put in to operation in Phu Tho Province’s Tam Nong District on March 4, its investor DTK Corporation, announced at a press conference on Saturday.

The 42-ha factory will have total investment capital of VND800 billion (US$35.3 million). It comprises two phases, producing 175 million eggs annually, or equivalent to nearly 500,000 eggs per day, once fully operational in 2018. In the first phase, the factory will provide 300,000 eggs per day.

The factory is the first-ever facility in the country capable of controlling biosecurity during the entire process of clean egg production by using advanced technologies from Japan, the US and Israel, DTK representatives said. — VNS
