Spanning from November 21-25, APFE, which is viewed as one of Asia’s largest food-themed events, offers a good chance for the Vietnamese participants to seek wider presence in Singapore.
The island country is among the biggest ASEAN trade partners of Vietnam, with two-way trade nearing 17 billion SGD (13.6 billion USD) in January-October, equivalent to that of the whole 2013.
It is a promising market for Vietnamese farm produce and seafood, which currently make up only 10 percent of Singapore ’s imports, said Singapore-based Trade Counsellor Nguyen Viet Chi.
Vietnam could sell her products to other countries via Singapore since the country is a regional trade hub, according to head of the organisation board Steven Ng.-VNA
