It has over 200 stalls set up by 150 local and international businesses in sectors such as coffee, tea, sweets, ingredients, machinery, equipment, and decorations.
Coffee co-operatives from Dak Nong and Dak Lak are also taking part.
The exhibition is an opportunity for businesses to promote their products while visitors can enjoy high-quality coffee products.
