VIENTIANE: Laos is on track to export 210 tonnes of rosella fruit to South Korea this year, and plans to expand commercial cultivation to include black and white sesame and large onions to be sent to the Korean market.

The Lao Agricultural Business Association (LABA) launched a project in Vientiane province last week to promote the cultivation of these items.
