VIENTIANE, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 23rd Feb, 2024) A private company in Laos is setting up a large-scale cattle farm in northern Laos' Bokeo province, aiming to supply beef to domestic and foreign markets, especially China.
According to a Socio-Economic news report on Friday, the Duang Chalern Development Construction Company Group has been awarded concessions by the state on five plots of land covering a total area of 3,687 hectares in two districts of Bokeo province, some 340 km northwest of Lao capital Vientiane, to grow grass and raise cattle.
The company's chairman and director Khamphaiy Silaxa said the project started in 2021 and has experimented with four breeds of cattle.
So far, the company has exported more than 1,000 cattle, mainly to China, and also to Thailand and Vietnam.
