Vietnam: The second Vietnamese malting plant will be launched this year

Beer production in Vietnam has reached about 15 million hl per annum and is growing by 8% every year. Nowadays the country accounts only one malting plant with a capacity of 45,000 tonnes per year. The second one with a production capacity of 90,000 tonnes will be launched during 2006 and will cover in such a way 50% of Vietnam malt needs.

In the meantime Vietnam imports about 250,000 tonnes of malt mainly from EU, Australia, China and USA.
