Dao Van Ho, director of the ministry’s Trade Promotion Centre of Agriculture, said AgroViet represents an important trade promotion activity that offers an opportunity for firms nationwide to expand business co-operation and connect with new enterprises and consumers.

The annual fair also offers the chance for businesses to look into customer demands  in an effort to improve product quality and competitiveness, he added.

Approximately 200 firms have registered to showcase a range of agricultural machinery, safe agro-forestry-fishery products, and handicraft products throughout 200 booths at the fair, according to organisers

During the four-day event, a number of forums will also be taking place, including a forum aimed at promoting domestic production and consumption of agricultural products.

Organisers will bring a total of 500 delegates from 10 farmers’ associations in the Red River Delta to visit the fair to learn how best to utilise the new technologies on show.
