Spanning 130,000 square metres with 3,000 booths, the first Autumn Fair 2025 was the largest trade event of its kind ever held in Vietnam. It drew an average of 100,000 visitors per day — the highest attendance among domestic trade promotion events — underscoring the strong appeal of Vietnamese products and growing consumer confidence in locally-made goods.
