Among the highlights is its “Zen coffee” concept, which combines coffee enjoyment with a philosophy of mindfulness and inner balance. Introducing the product in India, widely regarded as the birthplace of meditation traditions, is seen as a unique cultural touchpoint that helps promote Vietnam’s coffee culture while conveying a lifestyle message of mindfulness and harmony.
Meanwhile, the FES Group is attracting visitors with its Cafe Pho instant coffee brand, which reflects the distinctive style of Vietnamese coffee and aims to expand its presence in the Indian market. The Nam Viet Food and Beverage JSC is also showcasing natural fruit-based beverages rich in vitamins and minerals, drawing interest from potential partners.
Vietnam’s Trade Counsellor in India Bui Trung Thuong said the presence of three large Vietnamese booths featuring coffee and processed food products reflects strong interest among Vietnamese businesses in India’s vast and promising market.
The five-day event is held at the Bharat Mandapam International Exhibition and Convention Centre by the India Trade Promotion Organization under India’s Ministry of Commerce and Industry in coordination with the Ministry of Food Processing Industries.
This year’s exhibition covers around 125,000 sq.m and gathers nearly 1,800 exhibitors, including about 155 international participants from 17 countries. Over the past four decades, the AAHAR has grown into one of Asia’s most influential trade fairs for the food processing and hospitality ecosystem.
