The event, which will be broadcast live on the Television of Vietnam (VTV) on October 17, forms part of activities under the Government’s National programme on industrial promotion to 2020.
It aims to feature products with high quality and those with potential for industrial production and winning bigger market shares, promisingly spurring rural industrial development.
Targeted products include handicraft products, processed agro-forestry-fishery products and beverage, machineries and mechanical spare parts, from rural workshops across the country, according to Trung.
They represent the potential of each region or each locality, said Vu Hy Thieu, vice head of the jury.
