Nearly 1,000 Vietnamese and international enterprises and exhibitors attended the "28th Vietnam International Exhibition on Food and Beverages, Food and Beverage Processing and Packaging Technology Equipment", filling up the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC, District 7, Ho Chi Minh City).

Bustling international visitors and traders

The organizers had to use an additional outside hall to set up more booths to meet the demand of businesses, increasing by 40% compared to the scale of 2023. Just opened on the morning of August 8, the exhibition was bustling with international visitors coming to trade and connect.

Investing in a rather eye-catching booth right in the center of the fair, Ms. Luong Thanh Thuy - General Director of Luong Gia Food Technology Joint Stock Company - said that they have currently exported to over 20 countries and met the most difficult markets such as Europe, the Middle East, Russia, Korea, the US and China.

Therefore, participating in this fair, businesses focus on introducing product lines specifically for the beverage and baking ingredients industry such as canned fruit, fruit smoothies, and fruit syrups.

"These are product lines that businesses bring to participate in major exhibitions around the world and receive positive feedback. And an international exhibition right in Vietnam will be an opportunity to promote Vietnamese agricultural products and fruits," said Ms. Thuy.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Ms. Phan Thi Thang, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade, believed that the exhibition would become a bridge for Vietnamese brands to promote, introduce products and expand the market.

At the same time, it also opens up opportunities for domestic enterprises to exchange and access advanced science and technology from foreign partners, creating a premise to attract investment and promote exports in the potential field of food and beverage production and processing.

The exhibition runs until August 10.
