Nearly 30 Vietnamese firms showcase products in France

The Paris International Food Industry Expo - SIAL Paris 2016 was kicked off in Paris on October 16.

Nearly 30 Vietnamese enterprises have brought Vietnam’s food products including rice and products from rice, pepper, cashew, vegetables, honey and coconut to this exhibition. The SIAL Paris 2016 takes place every two years, drawing around 7,000 enterprises from over 100 countries.

According to Vietnam’s Ambassador to France Nguyen Ngoc Son, the exhibition is an important gateway for Vietnamese enterprises to introduce their products and penetrate into French and EU markets. The food industry is one of France’s key industries with total revenue of 170 billion EUR (187 billion USD).

The participation of Vietnamese firms is one of important events in the strategy of building the national brands for Vietnam’s food industry, especially in Europe, to promote a common image for the Vietnamese food on the international market.

Attending the exhibition will also help Vietnamese enterprises to understanding standards on food safety and hygiene at one of the world’s choosiest markets.
