Over 17 tonnes of fresh sugarcane from Hoa Binh shipped to the US
VOV.VN - A ceremony was held by Tien Ngan Trading and Investment Co. Ltd and the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development on August 25 in the northern mountainous province of Hoa Binh to mark the export of a batch of 17.3 tonnes of fresh sugarcane to the United States.
Nguyen Huu Tai, director of the provincial Department of Quality Control of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, said sugarcane is a crop that boasts great export potential and is well-suited to the local climate and soil conditions, meaning it can be grown more in order to generate high economic efficiency.
Nguyen Le Diep, director of the Tien Ngan Trading and Investment Co. Ltd, said the company plans to ship 300 to 500 tonnes of sugarcane to the Republic of Korea, the UK, and the EU this year.
According to details given by the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, local sugarcane is not only present in various regions nationwide, but has also found its way into foreign markets.
Starting with just a 120-kg sample batch of purple sugarcane exported to Japan, its export volume has rapidly increased over the years, reaching 5.7 tonnes in 2020, 74 tonnes in 2021, and 300 tonnes in 2022.
The first batch of 20 tonnes of sugarcane was exported to the US on March 19.
