Hanoi (VNS/VNA) - Phuc Sinh JSC has announced that thecompany successfully sold shares to an investment fund from Europe with anundisclosed amount.
Phan Minh Thong, General Director of the Phuc Sinh JSC, said thefund would not participate in operating the business but simply providefinancial support. This has been the first time the company received foreigninvestment in 22 years of operation. The deal was completed after 18 months ofnegotiation.
“In the context of a limited capital market, having an investmentwith a moderate capital price is very meaningful. We are valued at U320 millionUSD. The amount is not too large but not small either, which could help usbuild two coffee processing factories this year,” Thong said.

“Vietnam's agricultural industry is developing strongly and hasmany opportunities to attract foreign investment. Phuc Sinh also wants to raisemore capital to develop factories, and also call for additional capitalspecifically for the K-Coffee coffee chain. However, we only accept financialinvestment and do not need strategic investors,” he said.
