The exhibition, known as VIETNAM OCOPEX, is jointly held by the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT), the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD), and the Vietnam Cooperative Alliance.
Speaking at a press conference held in Hanoi on October 25, Vu Ba Phu, Director of the MoIT’s Vietnam Trade Promotion Agency, said that the exhibition aims to provide OCOP producers with an opportunity to connect with foreign enterprises, trade promotion organisations, and experts to facilitate their export and import activities.
VIETNAM OCOPEX will feature 250 booths showcasing OCOP products rated 3, 4 and 5 stars from over 150 businesses across sectors such as processed foods, farm produce, textiles, footwear, handicrafts, and home appliances.
According to the organisers, as many as 32 provinces and cities have registered to take part in the event to date, aiming to introduce their typical OCOP products.
A seminar on connecting and promoting OCOP products via modern distribution channels overseas will also be held on November 1 within the framework of the exhibition.
