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.

The factory with a total investment of more than 84 million USD is located in the Protrade International Industrial Park in An Tay commune, Ben Cat town.

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.
