With a focus on hi-tech products to support sustainable development of the agricultural industry, the event aims to expand international cooperation and serve as a bridge between businesses and consumers while offering opportunities to fully tap the domestic market.

The event will also introduce cutting-edge technologies in agricultural production and high quality agro-forestry-seafood products and handicrafts.

Dao Van Ho, Director of the Trade Promotion Centre for Agriculture under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development emphasized that beyond introducing the potential of farm produce, the event also helps to strengthen connectivity among businesses operating in the fields of processing technologies and post-harvest preservation.

Mr Ho noted that the event also helps in creating safe agricultural products for export and domestic consumption, leading to increased product value and developing the agricultural sector towards advanced-technologies and international integration.
