A trade promotion fair for localities in the Red River Delta opened on November 10 in the northern province of Hung Yen, aiming to foster regional connectivity, promote sustainable development and enhance brand of regional products.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has asked the Ministry of Industry and Trade to build on the success of the first Autumn Fair to develop a professional, modern and effective model for annual autumn fair, while quickly submitting a proposal for organising the inaugural Spring Fair in 2026.
Far beyond a mere product display, the event served as a “miniature map” of Vietnam’s rapidly integrating economy, underscoring its growing appeal to global business partners.
With these initial successes, the fair is gradually establishing itself as a professional trade promotion event, providing domestic businesses with a platform to showcase their competitive capabilities and enter the global value chain.
The large number of contracts and agreements signed during the event underscores the fair’s prestige and appeal, while highlighting Vietnam’s growing influence on the global trade map.
The Vietnam Golden Autumn Fair 2025, underway at the Vietnam Exposition Centre in Hanoi's Dong Anh commune is attracting thousands of visitors daily, with its international pavilion area featuring over 100 businesses from ASEAN countries, China, Australia, France, and beyond showcasing products, technologies, and new partnership opportunities.
The first Autumn Fair 2025 is a venue for displaying goods, envisioned as a launchpad for digital commerce, enhancing the presence of Vietnamese brands on modern online platforms.
With the participation of hundreds of tea producers, cooperatives, and brands from across the country, this year’s event not only promotes the image of Vietnamese agricultural products but also paves the way for the tea industry to strengthen its foothold in global markets.
The products on display highlight the trend of sustainable, eco-friendly, and multifunctional design, reflecting Vietnamese firms’ growing capacity to meet the strict technical standards and consumer tastes in the US.
The fair will feature around 3,000 booths and over 10,000 products for display and trade across five themed zones, reflecting Vietnam’s strengths in production, commerce, consumption, culture, and tourism.
The Autumn Fair 2025 is set to officially open on October 25, covering more than 130,000 sqm with 3,000 booths. Bringing together domestic and foreign businesses, the event is expected to be the country’s largest trade promotion fair of the year, contributing to stimulating domestic consumption, promoting Vietnamese brands and strengthening the country’s international economic integration.
The fair is hoped to draw about 500,000 visitors per day, reflecting the strong appeal of a nationally and regionally significant event. Therefore, it is expected to become a prominent highlight in a series of economic and trade promotion events of Vietnam this year.
The Finance Minister's mission in the UK and Italy is expected to unlock new cooperation opportunities across multiple high-potential sectors, contributing to economic and financial cooperation between Vietnam and European countries.
Tung noted that Vietnamese agricultural products are gaining stronger footholds in the Australian market, contributing to a more balanced trade relationship. The Consulate General plays an active role in supporting businesses, removing technical barriers, promoting brands, fostering research collaboration, and building sustainable supply chains.
Chinese market demand is diverse, favouring products where Gia Lai holds competitive advantages including coffee, durian, passion fruit, black pepper, and coconut.
According to China Customs, in the first half of 2025, China imported 1.35 billion USD worth of fruits from Vietnam, totaling nearly 1.37 million tonnes. Vietnam currently ranks as China’s largest fruit supplier, accounting for 13.6% of China’s total fruit import value and 28.7% of total import volume.
The most noticeable is a nickel-cobalt project of Guangdong Guangxin Holding Group Ltd in Indonesia with total investment of 2 billion USD.
Hanoi has established 16 innovation and design centres dedicated to promoting OCOP and craft village products, along with 110 showrooms and sales points, helping consumers easily recognise and purchase authentic OCOP goods.
Hai Duong currently has 8,800 hectares of lychee, including 3,300 hectares in Thanh Ha district, with an estimated total output of 65,000 tonnes. The harvest will run from late May through June.
Facing the risks posed by trade barriers and potential reciprocal tariffs from the US, many businesses have proactively shifted their market strategies, stepped up trade promotion, and diversified their orders to reduce reliance on a single market.
