Vietnam: First permanent flower market in Ho Chi Minh City
The Saigon Trading Group (Satra) will build the 14ha centre at a cost of around VND700 billion (US$31.8 million).
It will offer flower sorting, packing, refrigerated transport and cold storage, floriculture support, post-harvest handling, logistics, and financial services.
Its first stage will be completed this year, with an expansion scheduled for next year.
Some 90 per cent of the flowers consumed in HCM City come from Da Lat City, according to Satra.
