Tien Ngan, a local company, had negotiated with a US partner on the deal for four months. The company expects to ship up to 500 tonnes of fresh sugarcane this year, according to its director Nguyen Le Diep.
Hoa Binh first exported fresh sugarcane to Japan in 2020. The volume rose to 300 tonnes last year, with orders from demanding markets such as SouthKorea, the UK and the EU.
