[April

exporter Vinacafe Bien Hoa has set the world record for largest
cup of coffee with a cup which holds 3,613 liters of coffee,
enough for over 30,000 people to drink.
Nguyen Thanh Tung, marketing director of Vinacafe
Bien Hoa Joint Stock Company: "Other coffee cups
in the world are merely cups. Our cup is used to make coffee."

in its giant stainless steel cup, the company had to mobilize
over 100 people to simultaneously do the work skillfully,
he said.

at 379.4 billion VND (23.7 million dollars) by the end of
