Lotte Mart Vietnam is currently distributing around 900 private-label products manufactured in Vietnam under the retailer’s strict quality control.

The initiative aims to provide Korean firms with information on import–export trends across the ASEAN region and developments in local markets, while also offering opportunities to explore the latest industry trends and technologies.

A key focus is to expand networks with relevant industry partners in ASEAN countries and identify potential strategic cooperative partners.

The RoK–Vietnam business forum is expected to take place on May 20 at the New World Saigon Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City.

Representatives from the municipal Department of Finance and Department of Industry and Trade, and the Vietnam Trade Promotion Agency are set to share insights on investment trends, trade policies and the implementation of the Vietnam–RoK free trade agreement.

The Korean delegation will also visit food and technology enterprises to learn about integrated supply chain models and Vietnam’s foreign investment attraction policies, particularly those of Ho Chi Minh City as part of its strategy to develop into a global trade hub and support businesses in diversifying export markets.
