Vietfood & Beverage and the co-located ProPack Vietnam will return to Tan Binh International Exhibition & Convention Center (TBECC) in Ho Chi Minh City in September with a bigger-than-ever showcase of F&B products and services, as well as processing and packaging equipment and solutions.

This year, the exhibition has grown significantly and will occupy 7,000sqm of the TBECC.

The exhibition is an annual event organised by Vietnam National Trade Fair and Advertising Company – Vinexad, operating under the Ministry of Trade & Industry of Vietnam. Co-organisers include the Food & Foodstuff Association of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam Beer, and the Beverage & Alcohol Association (VBA).

“Already, nearly 75% of exhibitors in last year’s show have registered to take part in Vietfood &Beverage–ProPack Vietnam 2014 and others are in the final stages of concluding their participation. This means that we are well on track with attracting the market leaders and the most important companies in this industry,” said Nguyen Khac Luan, general director of Vinexad.

Significantly, the show has confirmed the participation of several country pavilions, from Korea, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia.

Nguyen Khac Luan said Vietfood &Beverage–ProPack Vietnam has distinguished itself from other food shows in Vietnam with its high degree of professionalism, its range of exhibits and diversity of visitors who attend the exhibition.

Show statistics indicate that almost seven out of 10 visitors to the show are people in the trade looking for new suppliers and products and 84% of the visitors are professionals who are involved in making purchase decisions.
