Two trade fairs are taking place in the capital, aiming to serve rising demand for the forthcoming Lunar New Year (Tet) holiday.

Hosted by Ha Noi’s Department of Trade and Tourism, the first fair has attracted 115 enterprises, co-operatives and household businesses, showcasing farm produce, processed foods, confectionary and beverages at 150 booths.

The event would be a good opportunity for exhibitors to advertise and boost sales of local agricultural goods and food, the department’s deputy director Tran Thi Phuong Lan said at the opening ceremony last week.

It will run until tomorrow at Thong Nhat Park on Tran Nhan Tong Street.

The second fair has 150 booths displaying agro-forestry-fishery goods, handicrafts and many kind of specialties.

The event, organised by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development’s Trade Promotion Centre for Agriculture, aims to provide local customers with quality and safe goods.

Taking place at the centre on Hong Quoc Viet Street, the event will wrap up on February 2. — VNS
