Pierre Schaufelberger said that Nestlé intended to help Vietnam import high-quality coffee seedlings, and would also invite experts to train local farmers in planting, cultivating, preserving and processing coffee for export.
Schaufelberger also said that the company would provide up-to-date information on world coffee prices.
Nestlé first moved into Vietnam in 1993, and its operations represent 20% to 25%, 200,000 to 250,000 tons, of total Vietnamese coffee exports. In 2006, the Swiss-based food giant provided 5,000 high-grade coffee seedlings to an institute of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and to farmers in Dong Nai province for trial.
