On display at 350 stalls are farm products, vegetables, fruit, fresh & frozen seafood, processed & canned food, beverages, additives, herbs, fish sauce, as well as processing and packaging technologies.

The exhibition is being attended by big domestic companies with reputable brand names such as Vissan, Cau Tre, Khanh Hoa Sanglagane, Sa Giang, Sabeco, Bidrico and Tan Hiep Phat.

Meanwhile, foreign businesses, including those from the Republic of Korea, Poland, Spain, Singapore, Indonesia, and India, are displaying processed fruits, cheese, dairy products, bee honey, and wine.

The presence of large numbers of domestic and foreign businesses shows the food and beverage industry has been developing well despite the impact of the global economic slowdown, said Nguyen Nam Hai, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade.

With its increasing prestige, the exhibition not only offers opportunities for businesses to promote trade, products, and trademarks, but also helps improve the food and beverage processing industry in Vietnam, said Hai.
