Nguyen Khac Luan, General Director of the Vietnam National Trade Fair & Advertising Joint Stock Company (Vinexad), said that Made-in-Thailand consumer products, food and beverages have been long popular in Vietnam.
However, Thai firms still choose to take part in the VietFood & Beverage – ProPack annually as a way to promote their products to foreign buyers, including supermarkets and leading retailers.
Pham Thanh Kien, Director of Ho Chi Minh City’s Department of Industry and Trade, stressed that foreign businesses’ presence in Vietnam has opened up more cooperation opportunities for investment and production in export processing and industrial zones, creating jobs for labourers and boosting technology transfer and production and business.
It has also fostered competitiveness and made domestic firms to reform to attract consumers, Kien added.
