450 foreign and local firms set up booths at Vietnam Foodexpo 2018
Vietnam Foodexpo 2018, which will be organised on November 14-17 in Ho Chi Minh City, will welcome more than 450 foreign and local firms as well as thousands of experts and customers.
This year, Vietnam Foodexpo 2018, covering an area of 13,000 square metres, will host more than 600 booths, displaying agricultural products, sea food, beverages, food materials, processed food, and food processing machines, among others.
The exhibition will welcome back numerous firms who have been returning exhibitors for three consecutive Vietnam Foodexpo events since it was first organised in 2015, including Quang Ngai Sugar JSC, Sa Giang Import-Export Corporation, and An Giang Fruit-Vegetables & Foodstuff JSC, among others.
According to Vu Ba Phu, director of the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT)'s Trade Promotion Agency, the organising board of Vietnam Foodexpo is collaborating with ministries and relevant authorities to support local and foreign firms in connecting with each other, increasing these firms’ competitive capacity in both the local and foreign markets.
Nguyen Phuong Linh, director of Bonie Bee Co., Ltd., stated: “Thanks to joining the annual Vietnam Foodexpo events, Bonie Bee’s honey became popular in both local and foreign markets. The firms’ products are now present in famous supermarkets across South Korea and Japan, thanks to the successful transactions in previous exhibitions.”
According to Vu Dung Thanh, marketing director of Moocos Vietnam Co., Ltd., joining the Vietnam Foodexpo is a great opportunity to introduce Moocos’s products processed from Gac fruit, including Gac fruit oil, frozen Gac puree, and Gac powder, to leading local and foreign distributors.
Last year, Vietnam Foodexpo 2017 lured in 24,000 visitors, including 3,000 foreigners coming from 50 countries and territories across the globe. Besides, more than 3,000 contracts and cooperation agreements were signed at the exhibition.
