Vinacafe Bien Hoa Profit May Beat Forecast by 44pct, Dung Says

Profit for the year ending December 31 may rise to 200 billion dong ($9.6 million), compared with the previous forecast of 139 billion dong, said deputy general director Le Hung Dung. Net income at the maker of roasted and instant coffee may have reached 140 billion dong in the first eight months, Dung said in an interview yesterday.
