Speaking at the opening ceremony, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Phan Thi Thang said that, having accompanying Vietnamese enterprises for a decade, Vietnam Foodexpo has been forming a professional and effective trading and investment platform to help businesses in the food industry introduce and promote their brands, boost business cooperation, and expand import and export markets.

She said that to help businesses grasp trends and make strong changes to meet global green and sustainable technical standards, a series of activities within the framework of Vietnam Foodexpo 2024 focuses on providing updated information and diverse perspectives on green transition.

This is an important premise and driving force to promote the process of recovery and development of a green, sustainable economy, in line with the global trend towards the goal of net zero emissions by 2050 that Vietnam committed at the 26th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 26), she added.

Additionally, this year's expo continues to be a place to honor national food brands.

At the expo, the Vietnam Trade Promotion Agency opened a space for a digital trade promotion ecosystem, which includes major e-commerce platforms like Alibaba.com, Lazada, and Mediastep Software Vietnam Co., Ltd.

Vietnamese enterprises and international importers in the food industry can meet at a business matching conference and other connection activities held during the expo.

It will create opportunities for businesses to seek trade cooperation with domestic and global importers and distributors and promote their products and brands.

Many events will be held within the framework of the expo, including conferences and B2B meetings.
