The Vietnamese High-Quality Products Fair which will open in HCM City at the end of this month will have the theme “Shopping and Festive Week.”

The fair at the Phu Tho Stadium in District 11 from April 27 to May 2 will have around 500 booths, including 200 set up by Vietnamese companies designated as producers of high-quality goods.

For the first time the annual fair will have a “Green-Nice Market” where 100 farms, co-operatives and start-up firms will showcase farm produce grown to safe or organic standards, Vu Kim Hanh, chairwoman of the Business Association of High-Quality Vietnamese Goods, the event’s organiser, said.

International quality standards adopted by high-quality Vietnamese goods and enterprises would be displayed at a dedicated area, she said.

The fair will also feature other activities like a promotion to sell over 3,000 items at VND20,000 from 9:30am to 10:30am daily, game shows, street art performances with young acoustic bands, and a food area with cooks coming from the Golden Spoon Club.

Visitors will get surprise gifts from a truck driving around the exhibition area.

An international exhibition on global food safety trends and measures to increase exports by Vietnamese firms and a forum on companies making high-quality goods with start-ups will also be held on the sidelines. — VNS
