Binh Duong (VNA) – The ILD Coffee Vietnam Ltd Company on September 29 inaugurated its freeze-dried instant coffee factory with an annual production capacity of 5,600 tonnes in the southern province of Binh Duong.

Coffee is one of Vietnam's key industrial crops. Every year, Vietnam exports over 1.1 million tonnes of coffee bean, mainly Robusta, to nearly 100 markets. Most of Vietnam’s exported coffee is raw, unprocessed so its added value is modest.

The instant coffee factory is expected to increase the added value of the products and incomes for coffee growers.

As of September 15, the province attracted 4,166 investment projects from 65 countries and territories with a total registered capital of more than 40.2 billion USD. It currently ranks 2nd in the country in attracting foreign direct investment (FDI), after Ho Chi Minh City.

In the first nine months of 2023, the province attracted a total investment of nearly 1.3 trillion USD./.
