The Mekong Delta city of Can Tho will hold the nation’s first ever seafood festival from April 22-25, 2010, said the organisers in a press conference on December 17.

The festival entitled “Potential, Cooperation and Development” includes a seminar and several trade promotions which will hopefully create a range of business opportunities for local and overseas seafood companies.

The seminar will focus on five topics including aquatic farming in Vietnam , future development plans, seafood exports, building up brand names and logistical services and solutions for the sector. It is expected that numerous scientists, trade analysts and entrepreneurs will attend.

A seafood fair exhibiting seafoods from all over the country will also be held during the festival./.
