Ben Tre Provincial People’s Council Chairman Nguyen Thanh Phong briefed his guests on the province’s socio-economic and cultural development, the advantages it boasts in its marine economy and agricultural processing industry, and other features salient to foreign investment.

Seven local  businesses are currently working with Russian partners. Coconut rice, tra fish fillets, and active coal are all exported to Russia. Two Russian businesses are also invested in Ben Tre aquaculture.

Phong promised Ben Tre will do all it can to encourage additional investment from Russian businesses.
