VOV.VN - The Vietnam International Furniture and Home Accessories Fair (VIFA-EXPO 2022) is anticipated to take place between August 31 and September 3 at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC) in Ho Chi Minh City.
This information was unveiled at a press conference held on August 25 in Ho Chi Minh City to introduce VIFA-EXPO 2022, which is being organised by HAWA Corporation.
Addressing the event, Dang Quoc Hung, director of HAWA Corporation, emphasised that VIFA-EXPO represents the largest annual fair and the most prestigious export promotion event in the wood and furniture industry to happen for several years.
This year’s expo is expected to attract 175 domestic and foreign firms from 12 countries and territories worldwide, including Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, Indonesia, the Republic of Korea, the Netherlands, Singapore, Thailand, and the United States.
Themed "Discover the fascination of Vietnamese Furniture & Handicraft”, VIFA-EXPO 2022 is set to provide an ideal venue for exhibitors to showcase their furniture products, handicrafts, interior decoration items, and support services in order to meet the needs of international buyers, Hung noted.
On the sidelines of the fair, international buyers will take a fact-finding tour of wood processing factories in Binh Duong, Dong Nai, and Long An provinces.
Tran Hoai Huu, director of Gia Nhien Company, noted due to disruption in trade exchange as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and continuing global fluctuations, several wood processing enterprises are facing a shortage of orders.
The function is expected to create a platform for export businesses to meet international partners and buyers and stay updated on market trends, establish co-operative relations, and sign export orders in the near future, he said.
At present, roughly 2,000 visitors have registered to participate in the event, of which international visitors accounted for up to 79% of the total.
