Attending the groundbreaking ceremony were comrades Giang Thi Dung, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairwoman of the Provincial Fatherland Front Committee; Nguyen The Phuoc, Member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee, Permanent Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee; and leaders of provincial departments.
On the side of Son Ha Spices Company Limited, there was Mr. KeiJi TaNiGuChi, General Director and all officers and employees of the company.
After a period of implementation, up to now, the documents and procedures of the Project to build a spice production and processing factory of the Company in Yen Dung village, Xuan Ai commune have been completed, ensuring full compliance with regulations for the groundbreaking ceremony.
The project has a total investment of more than 350 billion VND, on an area of nearly 48,000m² in an area with favorable natural conditions and abundant raw materials. When put into operation, the factory has a production capacity of 50 tons of fresh cinnamon and star anise per day; processing 5,000 tons of dry materials per year with key products such as: cinnamon flute, cinnamon flakes, ABC cinnamon and dried star anise.
The Project groundbreaking ceremony is an important event, a great joy not only for the enterprise but also a milestone in attracting investment, developing the processing industry and increasing the value of agricultural products of Lao Cai province.
Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony, Permanent Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen The Phuoc affirmed: "In recent years, Lao Cai province has made efforts to develop agricultural economy towards commodity, sustainable and high added value. However, the production and processing of spice products in the province is still on a small scale, mainly raw processing, without proper investment in technology and deep processing, which has significantly limited the added value of products and competitiveness in the market".
The project to build a spice production and processing factory in Xuan Ai commune has started construction, creating a new value chain, from raw material areas to final products, meeting the strict standards of domestic and international markets.
This will be a stable and sustainable outlet for spice products of farmers in the province, helping people in the raw material areas increase their income, stabilize their lives and feel secure in sticking with traditional spice crops. In addition, the project will create hundreds, even thousands of job opportunities for local people, especially those in Xuan Ai commune and neighboring areas.
The Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee believes that with the thorough investment and strategic vision of Son Ha Spices Company Limited, the Factory will become a model of clean, sustainable, environmentally friendly production, contributing to the protection of natural resources and preserving the beautiful landscape of Lao Cai.
He requested that departments, branches, sectors, party committees and authorities of Xuan Ai commune continue to closely coordinate with the Company to promptly resolve difficulties and problems arising during the construction of the Factory, ensuring progress and quality.
Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony, Mr. KeiJi TaNiGuChi, General Director of Son Ha Spices Co., Ltd. said: “The project is not only the beginning of a new project, but also a promising start for the Vietnamese spice industry, affirming the Company's commitment to Lao Cai province. We are committed to working closely with local authorities and the community to develop sustainable raw material areas, linking production with environmental and social responsibility in each stage and above all, steadfast in our mission to bring the Vietnamese cinnamon brand in general and Lao Cai province in particular to the world. Together, we will create a modern, integrated production platform, and bring pride to Vietnam”.
