The firm expects to earn VND5.8 trillion (US$255.6 million) from packed food products and VND1.9 trillion (US$83.7 million) from frozen food sales in the year.
Meanwhile, it aims to raise its corporation value in food and flavour sector, a new sector that the firm has joined since 2016, through the speeding up of cooperation with partners and focusing on merge and acquisition.
It will shake hands with major regional firms in the region to shorten production time and introduce high quality products. In August this year, it will partner with a Thai enterprise to produce high quality chili sauce.
Speaking at the firm’s annual shareholders’ meeting in Ho Chi Minh City recently, Nguyen Thi Xuan Lieu, KDC Deputy General Director, the KDC has entered the food processing sector by owning 50% of capital of Dabaco Food.
Last year, KDC enjoyed revenue of over VND2.23 trillion (US$98.2 million), equivalent to 124% of its yearly target, and a pre-tax profit of more than VND1.5 trillion (US$66.1 million).
