Vietnam's Dong Thien Joint
Stock Company has opened a branch in Cambodia and the company is set to begin a
$1.25 million sand exploiting project. A Dong Thien spokesperson told local
media that the project was the biggest the company had undertaken. The company
plans to export up to 7,000 cubic meters of sand each week to Vietnam. "Sand in
Cambodia meets Vietnam's standards for construction sand. The local market is
now short of this material so the market for sand is extremely large," the
spokesperson said.
