Jointly organised by the provincial People’s Committee and the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the event runs until December 25 and features nearly 300 booths of businesses, cooperatives, and rural industrial establishments across the Mekong Delta and other regions of Vietnam.

The fair introduces a wide range of products, including provincial OCOP-certified products, processed agricultural and aquatic products, industrial equipment, IT solutions, consumer goods, and traditional handicrafts, among others.

It aims to foster trade, collaboration, and market expansion for businesses, while also serving as a platform to promote Vietnamese goods in line with the “Vietnamese people prioritise Vietnamese goods” campaign.

Pham Van Trong, Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee, highlighted the fair's role as a significant event for industrial promotion and market development.

On this occasion, 10 local businesses were honoured for their contributions and excellent performance, with 11 products receiving awards as outstanding rural industrial products in southern Vietnam in 2024.
