The four-day exhibition attracts 1,500 companies from 30 countries with up to 2,500 booths. It creates an opportunity for the food and beverage industry of the RoK and other participating countries to seek cooperation opportunities.
At the exhibition, the Vietnamese booth displays products of big brands like Masan, Vinamilk and Huu Nghi, attracting a large number of Korean importers, distributors and consumers.
Vietnamese Ambassador to RoK Nguyen Vu Tung and Ambassadors of ASEAN countries visited the Vietnamese booth and highly appreciated the Vietnamese products displayed here.
Deputy General Director of Masan Consumer Corporation Pham Hong Son said Vietnamese cuisine has been favoured in the RoK, noting that the increasing number of businesses investing in products for the market has demonstrated the firm foothold of Vietnam’s big brands in the country.
The RoK is now Vietnam’s third biggest trade partner, after China and the US, with two-way trade reaching about 88 billion USD in 2022, which is expected to increase to 100 billion USD in 2023.
Vietnam’s main exports to the RoK are garment-textiles, agricultural and aquatic products, and food.
Each year, the RoK imports some 40 billion USD worth of food, of which only 5% is from Vietnam. Therefore, ample room still remains for Vietnamese food exporters to the market./.
