At Viet Nam International Food Industry Exhibition 2015.
Vietnam food processing industry has been modernized every day. Therefore, the exhibition opens an opportunity of processing industry development for agricultural industry.
Opportunities expanded
Vietnam’s food industry is assessed as a potential sector. Vietnam’s food industry has produced numerous essential products in service for national economy, domestic and international demand with plentiful and various products.
In the past year, Vietnam’s total farm produce and food export turnover reached US$30.86bn. According to experts, sustainable production, satisfaction of food hygiene and safety and international standards are a main trend of development of Vietnam’s food industry.
Vietnam Foodexpo 2015 is a wonderful chance for domestic food processing industry to expand trade exchange with many nations. With the theme of "At the heart of Asia's food inspiration" , was expected to be an efficient tool for Vietnamese firms to influence consumer perceptions towards food products of Vietnamese origin. Vietnam Food Expo 2015 is the largest of its kind in the country and has more than 500 booths set up by over 300 exhibitors from Viet Nam and 19 other countries and territories, including India, Belgium, Cuba, Taiwan, Republic of Korea, Singapore, and Thailand.
Opportunities for Binh Duong agricultural sector
Attending the opening ceremony of Vietnam Foodexpo 2015, Tran Thanh Liem, vice chairman of the provincial People’s Committee is very pleased to the exhibition. Liem added that the event is a very big chance for Binh Duong agricultural industry.
Farm produce, processed foods, beverages, and food processing and packaging technologies are on display at the first Viet Nam International Food Industry Exhibition that opened in HCM City.
Over the past years, after the program of transferring agricultural structure to urban and hi-tech agriculture development in attachment to processing industry for the period of 2011-2015 (action plan 26) is set out, the provincial agriculture industry has gained a strong change with a 4-5% increase in the total local agricultural production value.
Therefore, at the exhibition, though Binh Duong had many stalls introducing products of locality, local processing agricultural sector remained out of date, lacking synchronous development of technology.
With potential and internal force, Binh Duong’s agricultural sector enjoys many good opportunities to develop and renovate processing technology in line with the action plan 26. It is sure that after joining in the expo, Binh Duong’s processing agriculture will make up many chances of approaching domestic and international markets.
