Twenty businesses from regional provinces and Ho Chi Minh City joined the event, showcasing food, agricultural, forestry and craft products, garments and local specialties in 40 booths.
The fair from November 1 – 3 generated over 1.1 billion VND (52,400 USD) in revenue for the firms, much higher than organisers’ estimate and the figures at the previous three fairs held in the locality this year.
