The factory, to be built in Duy Tien District’s Dong Van II Industrial Zone, will adopt a cultivation system that uses LED lighting instead of sunlight.
It is expected to be in full operation by the end of the year.
The technique purportedly helps increase the productivity of vegetables by 2.5 times, compared to those grown outdoors in natural light.
Murakami said that Showa Denko has put up dozens of such factories and plans to replicate the model in Viet Nam.
Provincial Party Committee Secretary Mai Tien Dung said the project suits the province’s policy to develop industrialised agriculture.
He affirmed that the province will invest in transport and infrastructure to facilitate the group's project implementation.
