The Spring Fair 2017 will take place at the Ha Noi International Exhibition Centre in Ha Noi from January 17-24, the event’s organisers announced on Thursday.

More than 300 enterprises from 35 provinces and cities nationwide are expected to participate in the upcoming event, showcasing essential products and specialties from all parts of the country at approximately 500 booths.

On display will be food and foodstuffs, beverages, textiles and garments, footwear, and electronics, in addition to furniture, pottery, gifts and handicrafts.

The annual fair will be a good opportunity for domestic businesses to introduce their products in order to better serve purchasing demands prior to the Lunar New Year (Tet) and encourage local people to use Vietnamese products, organisers said.

A previous event saw the participation of 800 domestic firms, displaying a variety of goods across 1,000 pavilions. — VNS
