The HCM City Department of Industry and Trade will host the 2020 Consumption Stimulus Fair from July 2 to 5 on 19 Dao Trinh Nhat Street in Thu Duc District.

The fair, financed by firms and the Government’s trade promotion funds, has 650 booths showcasing consumer products, agricultural goods, foods, and export items.

The fair is divided into two main areas including the HCM City enterprise pavilion which will display key products, market stabilisation products, and prestigious enterprise products of city associations and provinces' pavilions.

Those enterprises will display regional specialties, consumer products, agricultural products, foodstuffs that meet safety standards and products with potential for export in the locality.

The purpose of the programme is to help connect and support businesses to negotiate directly with each other, between production units and distributors, and between production firms and import and export firms.

It expects the event to boost economic recovery and normalise commercial activities in the city.

There will be promotion programmes with discounts over 50 per cent to stimulate consumption and help firms liquidate their stocks.

In addition, the exhibition will also introduce and sell several key products and many of them from Ho Chi Minh City; and specialty products of provinces, cities and products with export potential across the country. VNS
