With 300 exhibitors from eight countries and territories, the exhibition has grown in size and influence, serving as a key networking hub for industry stakeholders.
Hoang Quang Phong, Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), emphasized that Vietnam’s F&B sector has significantly contributed to the country's strong economic growth in recent years. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) projects Vietnam’s F&B market will reach 655 trillion VND (27 billion USD), reflecting a 10.92% increase from 2023. This growth positions Vietnam as one of the fastest-growing F&B markets globally over the next five years.
The event features one-on-one business matchmaking sessions, offering exhibitors opportunities to directly connect with potential partners. A variety of seminars will also be held, including discussions on sustainable food processing, cost optimization in F&B, and the latest in eco-friendly packaging innovations by Fuji Seal.
Besides, the exhibition includes interactive sessions like trade forums with representatives from China’s Chengdu Business Promotion Association, hands-on workshops, and prize giveaways for attendees.
The four-day event aims to enhance domestic and international ties in the F&B industry and strengthen Vietnam's position in this growing sector.
