In the crop, the country is set to harvest 13.8 million tonnes of sugarcane, up 11.3%, the paper quoted the Vietnam Sugarcane Association as saying.
The higher sugar production basically meets the domestic demand, said the association.
Vietnam, which now houses 37 sugar plants with daily capacity of 96,300 tonnes, has decided to maintain sugarcane acreage at 300,000 hectares, and sugar annual production of 1.5 million tonnes from now to 2010
