According to the association, VCCA is collaborating with Vietnam Entrepreneur Development Centre and Business and Investment magazine to hold the first ever festival in Vietnam to marking the 55th anniversary of Uncle Ho’s visit to Dong Hieu coffee farm in Nghe An province on December 10, 1961.
It also aims to promote coffee brand development domestically and internationally and create an attractive playground and increased opportunities to promote products and stimulate market demand for coffee companies.
The programme features an exhibition on coffee products from the famous coffee growing areas across the country, as well as offering opportunities for visitors to taste famous coffee brands and provide consumers with knowledge about the effects of coffee for health and how to recognise safe coffee products.
In addition, VCCA will also announce a list of domestic businesses with coffee products meeting food safety standards from specialised certification agencies.
Coffee businesses participating in the event are expected to be provided with market information, experiences on successful coffee business operation and business co-operation.
The festival will be held at HCM City’s Youth Cultural House, No.2 Pham Ngoc Thach street, Ben Nghe ward, District 1, from December 8-11.
