Introducing Vietnamese food products at WorldFood Moscow 2016

Vietnamese firms took part in the WorldFood Moscow 2016 International Expo, Russia to introduce Vietnamese food products from September 12-15.

Twelve Vietnamese enterprises are introducing a wide range of locally-made food products from frozen and canned food to farm products and fresh fruits under the theme of “Vietnamese agriproducts: unique, clean and safe” at the exhibition.

WorldFood Moscow is an annual event and this year it attracted the participation of over 1,500 companies from 62 countries around the world.

According to Deputy Director of the Agricultural Trade Promotion Centre under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development ( MARD ) Hoang Van Du, the expo is a good chance for Vietnamese enterprises to introduce their products to countries in the Eurasian Economic Union.

In the context of Russia still imposing a ban to import food from many traditional markets, Vietnamese companies now have a good opportunity to expand their Russian market, which has a purchasing power of 146 million people, he noted.
