Le Thi Thanh Lam, deputy general director of Sai Gon Food Joint Stock Companytold local media: “The export of frozen processed foods to Japan has not beenaffected at all. Instead, it is better than before. Before, Saigon Foodexported an average of 1,000 tonnes of products each month. This has increasedby 20 percent.”
Lam said: "Theorders have doubled, but we can’t meet demand. We can only provide another 20percent to keep the quality of the products.”
She said raw materials for the export products were imported from Japan andsome European countries. They would be then processed and re-exported to theJapanese market.
Her firm saw a doubling in the domestic market for hotpots, instant food,vermicelli, noodles and fresh porridge for children.
