Vietnam Foodexpo coming to HCM City this November

The Trade Promotion Agency (TPA) will coordinate with relevant agencies to organize a series of events such as an international conference on the Vietnamese food industry, a seminar on investment promotion in the food processing industry and a Saigon international cooking contest.

The TPA will also work with ministries and departments including the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the Ministry of Planning and Investment, trade offices and trade promotion agencies overseas, foreign embassies in Vietnam and world trade promotion organizations such as CBI, Business France, ITA, KOTRA, JETRO, AKC, ATPF, TAITRA, ITC and craft associations to invite trade partners and visitors to participate in the Expo.

Thousands of direct trade connection activities will take place at the Expo’s pavilions, helping participating businesses to directly meet partners at the event.

The Vietnam International Food Technologies Exhibition (Foodtech 2018) will coincide with the hosting of Foodexpo 2018. Both events aim to accelerate technology transfer and improve productivity and added value in Vietnam’s food processing industry by increasing the efficiency of trade promotion in the food industry.

Over 3,000 contracts and investment and trade deals were reached at the expo.
