According toDirector of the provincial Department of Industry and Trade Le Van Danh,the RoK needs vegetables and fruit. Last year, it imported 6,000 tonnesof mango and the figure is projected to climb to 10,000 tonnes in 2014.

Nguyen Thi Le Hong, General Director of the Dong Nai FoodIndustry Corporation (DOFICO), said her firm has signed a contractwith the RoK-based Nam Sa company to provide farm produce for the EastAsian market and established its ties with other Korean affiliates.

DOFICO and Nam Sa have also reached a deal on expanding a grassgrowing project to meet increasing demand of the RoK breeding industry.

Korean businesses have planned to boost trade ties with DongNai’s agro-aquatic product exporters and expand a distribution networkfor the goods in their home market.

An increasing demand forhealthy food and safe fruit in the Korean market and its limiteddomestic production are forcing the RoK to import a large volume of suchcommodities, according to Nam Sa General Director Choi Young Chul.

Nam Sa pays much attention to buying Vietnamese fruits and workingwith Vietnam’s businesses to boost dried-fruit consumption in the RoKmarket, he added.-VNA
