Nearly 400 businesses to attend HCMC FOODEX 2024

Upon addressing the event, Tran Phu Lu, director of the Ho Chi Minh City’s Investment and Trade Promotion Center (ITPC), emphasised that the function will contribute to providing support to food production businesses whilst also introducing high-quality Vietnamese products to the global market.

The occasion will also help enterprises to strengthen trade connectivity and develop strategies to apply advanced machinery and technologies into the production process, thereby improving overall competitiveness, product quality, and helping to expand both domestic and export markets.

On display across the 500 stalls at the expo will be products in the categories of raw and deeply-processsed food products, beverage, raw materials used in the food processing industry, machinery and equipment for production, packaging and preservation, as well as green and sustainable products.

The highlight of this year's exhibition will be the business-to-business (B2B) sessions with the goal of connecting food production enterprises with distribution units and modern supermarkets, as well as e-commerce channels and international buyers.

Furthermore, a series of seminars and trade exchange events will be held during the expo to assist firms in updating the latest information on trends in production, consumption, and orientations for potential export markets.

A cooking contest will also be held to introduce Vietnamese agricultural products through culinary culture.
