AgroViet is the most prestigious international expo in the sector. For this year, the occasion is set to host 250 pavilions for 200 firms to showcase food processing machinery, agricultural machinery, veterinary medicine, and safe agro-forestry-fishery products, among others.
Director of the Trade Promotion Centre of Agriculture Dao Van Ho noted that the expo aims to develop agricultural production in the era of Industry 4.0 and seek to add value to the agricultural production chain towards the implementation of a project to speed up mechanization in agricultural production, along with the national target program on the development of new rural areas.
The trade fair offers the perfect venue for enterprises to promote their brands, introduce new products, especially hi-tech agricultural ones, share their experience, and expand international co-operation. This will therefore serve to contribute to enhancing the competitiveness of agro- forestry-fishery products in both domestic and foreign markets.
Most notably, the event running until September 29, promises to open up numerous opportunities for provinces and cities to seek further investments in local agricultural development, and introduce both visitors and farmers to hi-tech agricultural products, as well as strengthening connectivity among businesses throughout the sector.
