In year 2004 the company expands its service to including import and export. Items for import and export including vehicles, parts, construction materials, food and drinks, and export agriculture products which are part of the expand services.

With the understanding of high demand in China for products such as Tapioca about 12 million tons per year. Laos has the land area good for growing cassava roots, has general labor, and working with Ministry Industrial and Commerce, Nayobai Bank, Lao Development Bank, and other government agencies, we can promote the plantation area to satisfy the need of such product.

Entities are the involved in training farmers with respect to plantation in three less develop districts such as Hom District, Sangthong District and Borlikanxay District. From this there other farmers from three provinces also involved in this plantation development. The three provinces are: Vientaine Capital, Vientaine Province and Borlikhamxay Province. The focus of this development are the technical of plantation, to increase yeild, and the funding for the project.

Since 2005 for three years, from the beginning the company purchased dry cassava root for exporting purpose. There were issues which are: higher transportation costs – we have no access to the sea also the complexity of purchasing slicing/drying cassava from customers due to the fact of difficulty of storage. With above reasons, the company decided to build tapioca factory – so this way we will have finish product. And also, this will increase employment for the local people. The factory was built in 02/07/2007 at Nashawn Village, Pakngum District, Vientaine Capital.

At that moment in 02/07/2007 the company started to clear land and build the factory, installing mechineries and technology available to be used. Most mechineries are from China which were ready to product tapioca flour on 19/06/2008. On that day, 19/06/2008, the factory officially opened and commences producing tapioca. The total registered capital of $5.5US millions. Until now we have total register capital of 100 billion kip ($12.5 million) for Lao-Indochina Group Company.
