Chinese fruit and vegetable distributor Sino Green Land will begin supplying fresh produce to East Timor under the terms of a new agreement with the nation.
The company said in a media release that the first shipments would begin arriving in East Timor this month.
According to company president Anson Fong, Sino Green Land hopes to begin working with the country's agriculture ministry to assist local producers.
Mr Fong said his company would provide local farmers with 'support in terms of technology, planting, harvesting and marketing of green foods'.
Sino Green Land hopes to build a strong presence in East Timor and is aiming for a market share of 25 per cent by the end of the 2010, according to Mr Fong.
Meanwhile, the company has also reported that T Squared Investments LLC has decided to invest another US$1m in Sino Green Land.
The funds will be used to help fund the construction of the company's 'China Green Food Distribution Hub', which is being built in the Guangzhou Yuncheng wholesale market.
The hub will cover 20,000m2 and cater for both wholesale and retail customers.
