Trong Duc Cacao Products Company based in the southern province of Dong
Nai has tied up with a Japanese company to produce chocolates for export
to Japan, Korea and Taiwan.
The total export value of Viet Nam''s agricultural, forestry, and seafood
products increased 5.8 per cent year-on-year to US$10 billion during
Jan-April this year, noted Agriculture and Rural Development Ministry.
Exports of some light industrial products are expected to increase this
year while shipments of agricultural products will likely fail to meet
the annual target.
The recent destruction of some cacao farms by farmers in some central
and Central Highland provinces due to low profits shows that in
developing the cacao sector, haste indeed makes waste.
