Korea grows fresh vegetables in Vietnam

South Korea has invested US$2.6 million on a fresh vegetable project in the northern province of Quang Binh, Cho Weon Dae, director of the Korean Project of International Agriculture (KOPIA) has revealed.

The four-year project began in December 2011, Cho said during the 2012 Korean Food Festival currently taking place in Hanoi.

“Besides developing products that are safe for Vietnamese consumers, we also plan to produce other potential vegetables to supply to Korean agricultural distributors,” he said.

There are 11 kinds of clean and safe fruits and vegetables being grown in the project, including chili, potato, tomato, onion, and cucumber.

“For those which yield high productivity, we will not only consume them in Korea and Vietnam, but also export to Japan, Taiwan, and the US,” he announced.
