Aquaculture is among fields that the authorities and businesses from Constantine province of Algeria want to step up cooperation with Vietnam. |
Larkem made the statement at a working session with the Vietnam Trade Office in Algeria on October 27.
The CCIR representative also emphasized that, in July, Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune issued a new investment law with many changes in regulations and incentives for investment in priority sectors, including agriculture, mining, healthcare, remote services, and tourism, in order to attract foreign investment.
Hoang Duc Nhuan, Commercial Counselor of Vietnam in Algeria, introduced to Algerian firms Vietnam’s economic potential and key exports, as well as the two nations’ trade and investment ties.
On this occasion, Vietnamese farm produce exporter Rong Dong Duong met with local businesses and introduced its products such as peppercorns, coffee, and turmeric powder. According to CCIR data, the spice market in this North African country is relatively large with an import volume of more than 30,000 tonnes of spices per year.
While in Constantine, the Vietnamese delegation also visited an international exhibition of food and packaging industry products.
