Sanjiv Sarin, Managing Director of TATA Coffee said: "TATA Group has a close relationship with Vietnam in many different sectors such as automotive, steel, energy, etc."

"Vietnam is not only the world's biggest producer of robusta beans but also the attractive investment environment. Therefore, the construction of the plant in Vietnam will help TATA Coffee expand its business on global market,” added he.

TATA Coffee will make every effort in processing special instance coffee in compliance with the occupational safety conditions. The plant will contribute positively to export turnover and offer jobs to the local residents," said Sanjiv Sarin.
