Nguyen Quoc Toan, Acting Head of the Department of Agro-product Processing and Market Development under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD), said that his ministry is focusing on expanding trade promotion and market development in Russia and Eastern Europe, in addition to traditional markets, such as China and ASEAN.
As the 2018 WorldFood Moscow is a large-scale international trade fair gathering many major brands, the appearance of Vietnamese enterprises is very important, he said, adding that the Vietnamese enterprises’ booths have attracted a large number of visitors, which is proof of the attractiveness of Vietnamese agricultural products to Russian customers.
Within the framework of the event, the MARD will organise a trade conference between Vietnamese enterprises and Russian ones, aiming to help Russian companies better understand Vietnamese agricultural products, so that they can find partners and sign business cooperation contracts.
The 27th WorldFood Moscow expo attracts more than 1,500 companies from 62 countries and territories. At the last edition of the event, there were nearly 30,000 visitors to the fair./.
