Gyeongnam Province Holds Promotional Exhibition for Excellent Agricultural Products in Vietnam

April 28 - May 3, Held at Fine Life Market in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Gyeongsangnam-do is holding the 'Gyeongnam Excellent Agricultural and Food Products Promotion and Sales Exhibition' at the Fine Life Market in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, with the participation of 14 local companies from April 28 to May 3.

Vietnam, with a population of 100 million and an average age of 27, is a large and young market. It has maintained an economic growth rate of around 7% annually for the past 10 years, showing great growth potential and is considered a post-China market.

In terms of history, culture, and society, it is similar to Korea, and currently, due to the influence of the Korean Wave, interest and trust in Korean agricultural and food products continue to rise.

This event features 14 agricultural and food product manufacturers from the province.

They will showcase 20 items including ginseng syrup, Eulgolgol apple juice, whole garlic samgyetang, Altori chestnuts, mountain jelly, and balloon flower pear juice.

Although there are difficulties in promotion due to restrictions on overseas travel caused by the resurgence of COVID-19, the Gyeongnam Provincial Office in Ho Chi Minh City and the local corporation of the commissioned company are supporting the promotion and sales on site to help hold the event.

Lee Jeong-gon, Director of the Agricultural Policy Bureau of Gyeongsangnam-do, stated, "During the COVID-19 pandemic, interest in health functional foods that boost immunity and convenience foods in Vietnam is rapidly increasing," adding, "We will do our best to expand exports of Gyeongnam agricultural and food products through the development of products suitable for market demand and support for promotion and sales."
