A local company in the southern province of Dong Nai has completed procedures for shipping 20 tonnes of Banh Chung (square glutinous rice cake) and 4 tonnes of Dong leaves to the US and the European Union.

It aims to help overseas Vietnamese enjoy the Lunar New Year (Tet) festival which falls in two weeks’ time. 

Over this Tet festival, Tran Gia, headquartered in Bien Hoa city, will also supply about 100 tonnes of Banh Chung to serve the domestic market, distributed in big supermarket chains such as Metro, Big C, Co.opmart, and Maximart.

Since 2005, the company has exported about 20-30 tonnes of Banh Chung every year to America and the European Union.
