Vietfood & Beverage – Propack Vietnam 2024 opens in Hanoi

Speaking at the event, Dao Thu Ha, executive director of Vinexad, highlighted the event’s role as a premier platform for food and beverage (F&B) industry players to showcase products, foster business partnerships, and promote the sector’s development.

With 300 exhibitors from eight countries and territories, the exhibition has grown in size and influence, serving as a key networking hub for industry stakeholders.

Hoang Quang Phong, vice chairman of the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), emphasised that Vietnam’s F&B sector has significantly contributed to the country's strong economic growth in recent years. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) projects Vietnam’s F&B market will reach VND655 trillion (US$27 billion), reflecting a 10.92% increase from 2023. This growth positions Vietnam as one of the fastest-growing F&B markets globally over the next five years.

The event features one-on-one business matchmaking sessions, offering exhibitors opportunities to directly connect with potential partners. A variety of seminars will also be held, including discussions on sustainable food processing, cost optimisation in F&B, and the latest in eco-friendly packaging innovations by Fuji Seal.

Besides, the exhibition includes interactive sessions like trade forums with representatives from China’s Chengdu Business Promotion Association, hands-on workshops, and prize giveaways for attendees.

The four-day event aims to enhance domestic and international ties in the F&B industry and strengthen Vietnam's position in this growing sector.
