mechineries and technology available to be used. Most mechineries are from China which were

ready to product tapioca flour on 19/06/2008. On that day, 19/06/2008, the factory officially opened

and commences producing tapioca. The total registered capital of $5.5US millions. Until now we

have total register capital of 100 billion kip ($12.5 million) for Lao-Indochina Group Company.

Our company used 2+3 method to promote cassava plantation as following:

50 meters wide and eight meters deep for the waste water from the plant as part of water

treatment before release back to the river. The company also signed an agreement with Bio-Gas

Lao-Indochina Group Co., Ltd., I always recognize the hard working character of our fellow

countrymen, Laos still has plenty of rich and fertile soil, and Cassava is easy to grow and suitable

for all types of soil.
