Its revenue rose 35 percent in the first quarter, reaching VND2.3 trillion. Cooking oil accounted for 87 percent of its total revenues, with the rest comprising ice cream and other sales.

It attributed the two-digits rise in revenues to the surge in demand for its products for the Lunar New Year holidays (Tet) in February.

It has set the targets of VND11.5 trillion in revenues and VND800 billion in pre-tax profit this year, a year-on-year increase of 38 and 92 percent, respectively.
