Although it was only introduced to the US market earlier this year, Kanpe Red sugarcane juice drinks have proved popular among local consumers.
According to Chaumin, chairman of Mega 4's Bottling Company, Vietnamese products use 99% pure sugarcane with only 1% kumquat flavor, whilst they also have a storage time of up to one year.
He went on to reveal that the current competitor to Lasuco's sugarcane juice products in the US is Goya, whose pure sugarcane ingredients account for only 32%, with the remaining 67% being added water and sugar.
He stated his plans to sell the products in areas inhabited by many Latin Americans, who reside in coastal areas.

After Miami, he will gradually distribute the Kanpe Red sugarcane juice drink to all 52 states around the US.
He hoped that Kanpe Red’s "Made in Vietnam" cane juice drinks would be widely sold in the US, noting that Lasuco Group's products would soon affirm its Vietnamese brand in the US market.
According to Vietnamese Trade Counselor in the US Do Ngoc Hung, sugarcane products have bright export prospects ahead in the US market as they are not on the list of items that must be inspected due to pest risk. Therefore, these products can be exported to the US market at any time, he added.
