This was revealed by Ta Duc Minh, Vietnamese trade counsellor to Japan, during
Japan’s largest international food and beverage exhibition, Foodex Japan 2018,
which opened on March 6 in Chiba city.
Up to 20 Vietnamese enterprises from various cities and provinces, such as HCM
City, Hanoi, Nghe An, Bac Giang, Ninh Binh, Dong Thap, Ben Tre, Can Tho, Kien
Giang, Lam Dong and Ca Mau, which are active in the field of agro-fisheries and
food export, took part in the event.
The event offers Vietnamese businesses opportunities to promote their exports in
the Japanese and other Asian markets. Besides this, it is an opportunity for
Vietnam’s firms to develop new export items, sign valuable export contracts, and
promote a wide range of Vietnamese food and agricultural products.
At the expo, Vietnamese firms displayed products such as fruits and vegetables,
seafood, cod-liver oil, organic pepper, seedless lemons, rice products, Phu Quoc
sauce, various biscuits and juices.
Earlier, Vietnamese products were exported to Japan in the form of semi-finished
products; however, recently, Vietnamese enterprises have focused on investment
and technology cooperation with Japanese enterprises, helping Vietnamese
products meet the quality standards of the Japanese market, Minh added.
The four-day exhibition attracts 3,350 firms from 80 countries and territories
worldwide, and is expected to welcome some 85,000 visitors.
