Published 2025년 7월 4일
Tridge summary
Recently, Proterra Investment Partners Asia and Mekong Blue Singapore Pte. Ltd., an agricultural technology consulting service provider, have partnered to launch a new blueberry cultivation project in southern Laos.
Proterra Asia, a leading pan-Asian food private equity fund management company that has invested in the Asian food industry for over a decade, stated that it has collaborated with MBS, its subsidiary Mekong Blue (Laos), and a specialized Chinese berry industry team to "develop a high-quality, export-oriented blueberry business" in the Paksong region of Laos.
Tai Lin, Managing Partner at Proterra Asia, said: "This is our first investment in Laos and a natural extension of our strategy to build high-quality, export-focused food businesses in Asia. The market opportunities for fresh berries are increasingly growing, and Laos possesses a suitable climate, geographical location, and potential to support the company's long-term development."
Paksong is located in the Bolaven Plateau in southern Laos, at an altitude of approximately 1,200 meters, and is a famous coffee-growing area. As early as this March, the Costa Group announced the establishment of a 17-hectare blueberry plantation in the Paksong region. They are expected to plant an additional 50 hectares by 2026 and expand to 200 hectares by 2028.
