Once the new plant becomes operational, it should be able to churn out some 500 metric tons of chili powder annually, said speakers at a ground-breaking ceremony held at the 640-square metre construction site in the Ninh Son District.
They will receive chilis from farmers, said speakers. What they do is process the peppers and they pull the water component out of them. They will dry that and it becomes powdered chili.
The speakers indicated that most of the product will be shipped globally to markets overseas.
With the new plant creating dozens of full time jobs, it is expected to have a positive impact on the local economy in the Ninh Son District, said Pham Van Hau, vice chair of the Ninh Thuan Province People’s Committee.
Anytime one can bring in a new business that brings in jobs and people to the community it's going to boost commerce, said Mr Hau. So, it’s a real bonus for the economy of the entire province.
Construction on the new plant, which is expected to cost US$650,000, should be completed yet this year.
