Vietnamese Trade Counsellor in Japan Ta Duc Minh said that due to the impact of
COVID-19, Vietnamese businesses can still not travel to Japan, and so they sent
products to the exhibition with the aim of introducing them to Japanese
consumers and importers and boosting the export turnover of Vietnamese farm
produce and food in Japan.
Assessing Vietnamese products, Jorge Imai, President of Imai Limited, which
imports foreign food and beverages, said they are quite suitable for Japanese
people and are of good quality.
He suggested Vietnamese businesses pay more attention to food safety regulations
to meet Japanese requirements.
This year’s exhibition is scheduled to last until March 12.
Held for the first time in 1976, Foodex is the largest and most important
networking event for Japan’s food and beverage sector to increase trade with
overseas markets.
The 2019 exhibition attracted over 3,300 enterprises from 94 countries and
territories, welcoming some 80,500 visitors.
