According to the event organizing committee, 425 companies from 21 countries and territories including China, Germany, Malaysia, Poland, Taiwan (China), Thailand, the Republic of Korea and Vietnam has registed to take part in the exhibition. The exhibition is expected to accommodate 500 booths and attracted about 20,000 arrivals for work and visit.
The event’s core purpose is to promote trade and bring about values to both suppliers and consumers. While small-sized enterprises will enjoy the chance to introduce their latest products, seek potential customers and analyze responses from customers, giants in the Food and Beverage industry, such as Habeco, Sabeco, Tan Hiep Phat Group, Vissan, Vifon, RALACO and Duy Tan Corporation can take this opportunity to continue building trust and consolidating their positions in the business and consumer communities.
This year, domestic manufacturers will
bring to the exhibition such clean products cultivated and processed in line
with environmentally-friendly and non-toxic standards such as organic rice,
honey, bird nest and cereals. The international participants will show cutting
edge machines in food and beverage
industry including the chain of food production line, packaging and storage.
Highlight of the event will be the display of processed poultry products from
the Associations of Poultry Processor and Poultry Trade in Poland and the
European Union. The associations’ member businesses will provide consultations
on bio-farming methods as well as new methods in food processing and preserving.
The food and beverage processing industry has great potential in Vietnam. Being a tropical agricultural country, Vietnam has abundant resources – a significant input for the processing industry. A large domestic consumption market with low labour costs coupled with strong equitisation of food enterprises has made the sector full of vitality, according to the organising board.
The exhibition was first held in 1996. After 19 exhibitions witnessing significant and rapid changes in the market, from the initial purpose of serving consumers' basic needs, the food and beverage industry has become a sector with considerable market share accounting for 15 percent of the gross domestic product, and it will continue to grow. The 2016 Vietfood and Beverage and ProPack marks its 20th anniversary with an ever largest scaled event.
