A week-long trade fair casting the spotlight on wooden products and fine art handicrafts for export will be kicked off in the southern city of Can Tho on April 26.

On display at the Mekong Expo 2014 will be machinery and equipment serving agricultural and industrial production, farm produce, processed food and other consumer goods.

According to Le Thi Kim Thu, Director of the Can Tho International Exhibition and Fair Company, three separate areas will be set up to introduce interior wooden exports, unique handicrafts and industrial products serving agricultural development.

The fair aims to provide domestic enterprises with an avenue to display their products to foreign businesses and create a close connection between domestic distributors and producers, she said.

Additionally, it is hoped to provide both domestic and foreign enterprises with an opportunity to expand their partnership and promote trade promotion activities.-VNA
