More than 300 businesses from 30 Vietnamese localities and 15 countries and territories are expected to participate in the forthcoming event, selling various products at about 500 booths, including dried fruits, seafood, beverages, and food products.

The event allows enterprises to promote their products and services and to gain access to domestic and foreign markets, said Director of the Trade Promotion Agency Bui Huy Son.

Participants can also connect with wholesale and retail distributors and potential food importers and investors at the exhibition. Information on the latest technologies for processing high-quality food products will also be available.

This year, Italy was selected as the Country of Honour at the expo. An Italian delegation will bring modern technology and unique Italian products to the event. Some Italian importers also plan to attend the Viet Nam Foodexpo to look for Vietnamese business partners.

The third international Food Viet Nam will also feature discussions of national branding strategies and producing safe and high-quality food.— VNS
