Big C Vietnam has exported four containers of Vietnamese-made food products used in the Lunar New Year holiday to supermarkets of the Casino Group in France, Brazil and Thailand.
Export products include rice paper, rice noodle, instant noodle, tea, seasoning sauce, fish sauce, dried fruit, sesame candy, peanut candy, prawn cracker, seaweed, wood ear fungus, and beans. There are also frozen products like shrimps, spring rolls and crab shipped to the importers.
Big C Vietnam said in a statement that the export of such products aims to provide overseas Vietnamese with Vietnamese food in the holiday. Big C has helped local producers and suppliers export food products directly to the Casino Group, and thus the prices are reasonable when products reach consumers.
Via Big C, many Vietnamese products were exported to supermarkets of Casino Group worldwide last year with a value of around US$20 million. Among these, the export of white-fleshed and red-fleshed dragon fruits increased strongly with 160 containers (equivalent to 3,000 tons) worth US$2.4 million.
Big C Vietnam’s purchase and export department has so far exported 700 kinds of products from over 60 suppliers to customers worldwide.
