“Here in Vietnam, the CT Group has got lots of small farms and it makes the logistics a bit difficult,” Northern Territory Minister for Primary Industry and Fisheries, Willem Westra van Holthe said following the signing of the joint-venture deal.
"So what they're looking for is a big-scale farm, and the northern territory is a place they're seriously looking at”.
CT Group is already a major producer of the bright pink fruit, which produced around 460,000 tonnes in 2013 through a network of small farms across Vietnam.-VNA
