Speaking at the opening ceremony, Nguyen Van Phuong, Deputy Director of the Bac Ninh Provincial Department of Industry and Trade, stressed that the fair is a meaningful event that both promotes trade activities and contributes to promoting the image of a dynamic, modern Bac Ninh with a rich cultural identity as the province enters a new stage of development.
The fair is part of the 2026 National Trade Promotion Programme and is organised under the direction of Bac Ninh Province and the Ministry of Industry and Trade from September 16 - 22. The event aims to create favourable conditions for businesses and cooperatives to promote their brands, introduce products, connect supply and demand, expand consumer markets and strengthen production and business linkages.
The fair also provides an opportunity to introduce Bac Ninh’s potential, advantages, socio-economic development achievements, and investment and business environment, while promoting industrial products, OCOP products, outstanding rural industrial products, traditional craft village products, high-tech agricultural products and distinctive products from northern provinces and cities.
This year’s fair features more than 220 booths with the participation of over 200 units and businesses. In addition, the provincial Farmers’ Union has organised more than 30 booths.
The fair is expected to create more opportunities for businesses to meet partners, expand distribution networks, access markets, and reach consumers. It will contribute to promoting the domestic market and supporting the campaign “Vietnamese people prioritise using Vietnamese goods”, while also strengthening the application of digital technology and e-commerce in trade promotion activities.
Hoang Minh Chien, Deputy Head of the Viet Nam Trade Promotion Agency under the Ministry of Industry and Trade, affirmed that this year’s event takes place at a special time, practically celebrating the historic milestone of Bac Ninh officially becoming a centrally governed city. Hosting a regional fair affirms Bac Ninh’s position as an economic connectivity hub, with modern logistics infrastructure and the capacity to promote trade across the Capital and the Red River Delta.
Earlier, as part of the fair, the Bac Ninh Provincial Farmers’ Union held the opening of the 2026 Bac Ninh safe agricultural products fair under the theme “Local Agricultural Products - Connecting the Future”.
