According to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, although it was the first time the festival was held, it attracted many large Vietnamese export businesses of fresh fruit and processed fruit products to display, introduce their products, and serve Chinese consumers.
This is a great opportunity for Vietnamese producers and suppliers to introduce and promote their brands and typical fruit products, as well as to meet and find customers, strengthen trade activities, and build sustainable cooperative relationships with potential partners for fruit imports in China. At the same time, it's a favorable opportunity for a large number of Chinese consumers to directly experience the quality and distinctive flavors of Vietnamese fruits, thereby helping to promote the national brand of Vietnamese agricultural products in general and fruits in particular to the Chinese market.
Previously, thanks to the joint efforts of both sides, high-quality Vietnamese fruits such as durian, dragon fruit, bananas, and mangoes have entered the Chinese market. At the same time, food products manufactured in Vietnam, such as coffee and pho, are also favored by many Chinese consumers.
With the comprehensive implementation of the RCEP Agreement and the continuous upgrading of the China-ASEAN Free Trade Agreement, cooperation between the two countries in technology, standards, and agricultural production has increasingly developed in a more in-depth direction.
