The VND 288-billion factory in Đray Bhang Commune, Cư Kuin District will start its construction in June and its operation in May 2011.
Being a coffee center of Việt Nam with nearly 176,000 ha in area and over 400,000 tons of coffee beans in yield annually, Đắk Lắk is focusing on processing industry to raise economic efficiency of its high-value crop.
The province has encouraged various economic sectors to set up modern processing facilities and financed coffee-growers to build drying yards, storehouses and wet processing bases in their residential areas.
In December last year, a wholly-foreign owned coffee processing plant, the biggest in the Central Highlands, was put into operation. The plant, invested by the Dutch-Việt Nam Coffee Co. Ltd., has a capacity of 100,000 tons of coffee beans per annum.
