VIENTIANE Capital, Lao PDR – May 5, 2025 – The Lao National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LNCCI) formalized a

collaborative partnership with two prominent agricultural enterprises, 3F Lao Sustainable Agriculture Cooperative and Chitpanya Farm, during a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signing ceremony held last Friday, May 2nd, at the LNCCI’s Office.
