The project is equipped with two technological lines including vacuum frying and freeze drying - serving the processing of crispy dried and freeze-dried vegetables and fruits, supplying the domestic market and aiming for export to markets such as Europe, Japan and Korea.

The factory has created direct jobs for more than 150 workers at the factory and indirectly for thousands of households growing fruit trees. This is an important step in increasing the value of fruit trees - the province's main crop with an annual fruit output of more than 500,000 tons.
