The event will feature 120 booths of 80 HCMC-based firms.
Besides this, the organizer will also launch “Vietnamese Goods Week in Melbourne, Australia” on November 24. The event, which is set to wrap up on November 28, will offer some 50 Vietnamese enterprises a chance to market their products to this foreign market.
This is the first time the HCMC Department of Industry and Trade has organized promotional programs in foreign markets for firms in the city, stated Nguyen Huynh Trang, deputy director of the municipal department.
The items and products to be showcased at the upcoming events include consumer goods, textiles, processed food and various services, she noted.
Apart from the participation of major firms in HCMC such as Chi Thanh Plastics Company, Saigon Food, NutiFood, Duy Tan Plastics and Vinamit, prestigious enterprises based in many other provinces and cities across the country will join the events.
The two programs are part of the city’s plan to support enterprises hoping to expand their market in 2019.
As for the local market, in late September, the department organized a goods supply and demand matching conference between HCMC and other provinces and cities nationwide to open the door for enterprises to seek cooperation opportunities. As many as 513 agreements were signed at the conference, the largest event of its kind in the city that attracted over 2,340 firms from 45 localities.
