Amrish Rungta said the group was looking for opportunities to develop an instant coffee processing factory covering an area of 8-10 hectares, with an investment of $80 million.
According to Nguyen Bay, director of the Binh Dinh Investment Promotion Center, since the beginning of this year, the province has attracted 39 investment projects (not including the above project), with total registered investment capital of more than VND4.84 trillion ($196.63 million).
