Ethnic minorities living in Cao Bang and Lang Son will get a chance to buy quality Vietnamese products at six trade fairs to be held in the two provinces starting on Wednesday.

The “Bringing Vietnamese Goods to Rural Areas” fairs will be held in Cao Bang’s Tra Linh District from April 5 to 7, Hoa An from 9 to 11 and Thach An from 13 to 15.

In Lang Son, they will take place in Binh Gia District from 17 to 19, Van Quan from 21 to 23 and Chi Lang from 25 to 27.

The two provinces are home to many ethnic groups like the Tay, Nung, Hoa, San Chay, and Mong, who usually do not have much access to quality Vietnamese goods.

Organised by the HCM City-based Business Study and Assistance Centre (BSA), the fairs have attracted nearly 30 companies, most of them from the south.

They will also have booths selling agricultural products grown by the northern chapter of the Innovative Startup Club and by HCM City’s Green-Nice Market.

Since 2009 the BSA and the Business Association of High Quality Vietnamese goods have organised almost 200 “Bringing Vietnamese Goods to Rural Areas” fairs, helping promote quality domestic products. — VNS
