Fast Market Research recommends "Vietnam Agribusiness Report Q4 2014" from Business Monitor International, now available

Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 11/05/2014 --Recent adjustments in our outlook for Vietnam's economy and business environment add further weight to our positive view on the country's agribusiness sector.

Domestic consumption will be another important driver.
- Milk pr oduction growth to 2017/18: 21.9 % to 484,7 00 tonnes. Dramatic increases in cattle numbers and increased public and private sector investment - part of the effort to reduce the country's growing import dependency - will be the main boost to growth. Commercialisation will also play a key role as larger, more efficient farms come to play a...
