agricultural products remains one of<br />

our core activities; but we have further<br />

diversified our inspection services to<br />

include minerals <strong>and</strong> biofuels, as well<br />

as technical inspections in the oil <strong>and</strong><br />

gas upstream industry.<br />

This year, we will open our new office<br />

the bigger ports in northern Vietnam.<br />

It is going to be an important link<br />

in our service network. In south<br />
