Local processors and exporters have been pledged to have adequate power supply and financial bank support to ensure their stable production until the end of this year.
They are requiring more input materials for their next year’s orders.
So far, Bac Lieu has earned 381 million USD in exports, fulfilling 85 percent of its yearly target, but experiencing a drop of 5.8 percent over the same period last year.
The locality’s rice exports reached only 26 percent of the target for the whole year due to fierce competition from Thailand, India and Pakistan.-VNA
