The 17th International Agricultural Trade Fair (AgroViet 2017) will be held in Ho Chi Minh City from September 21 to 24 and attended by more than 200 domestic and international enterprises.
Conferences and seminars on safe agricultural products and high-tech agricultural tourism will also take place. With 300 booths, the fair displays and introduces agricultural products that are regional specialties, as well as food safety and hygienic food chains and the application of scientific advances.
According to the organizers, the promotion of safe products in Vietnam has seen a lot of changes, especially in the context of many fruit and vegetable products of the country competing strongly with imported products.
Mr. Dao Van Ho, Director of the Center for Trade Promotion of Agriculture, said that AgroViet 2017 is held in Ho Chi Minh City because it is a market of potential in the south and the Mekong Delta. Products such as rice, fruit, and seafood have built up brands and are found in many global markets.
The fair is also an opportunity to promote the production and consumption of safe products, ensuring food safety and hygiene in agricultural products for export. “The fair aims to create opportunities and identify export markets and foreign partners,” Mr. Ho said. “Many Vietnamese agricultural products are competitive not only in the domestic market but also in export markets, contributing to the sector’s export turnover.”
