BHL Son La bien flour factory has a scale of 1.64 hectares, designed capacity of 300 tons/day and night (equivalent to 90,000 tons of products/year), total investment of nearly 245 billion VND.
The project is equipped with two modern lines, creating more than 1,000 product codes in 5 key lines, serving the two main markets, Vietnam and China, and aiming for global export.
The factory has been put into operation, creating jobs for more than 300 local workers and thousands of households growing cassava in the area.
