Vietnamese products capture interest at Philippine Food Expo
VOV.VN - Vietnamese products attracted keen interest from visitors and potential partners at the Philippine Food Expo (Philfoodexpo), held from April 4 to 6 at the World Trade Center in Manila.
The expo served as a platform for Philippine and international businesses to showcase their products and services to customers, distributors, and import-export companies. It also offered opportunities for businesses to assess market potential, gain insights into the Philippines’ food production and processing industry, and connect with potential partners.
At the event, Vietnamese booths drew considerable attention from attendees. Alongside familiar products such as coffee, agricultural produce, and beverages displayed by domestic firms, Vietnamese business representatives were also present to directly promote key offerings, including raw and processed cashew nuts, dried fruits, and traditional dairy products.
Visitors to the Vietnamese booths not only had the chance to view the products firsthand but also sampled them, while enjoying their rich flavors and distinctive aromas.
Items such as salted roasted cashews, seasoned nuts, flavored beverages, milk teas, and various types of coffee proved especially popular, drawing large crowds and sparking discussions on trade cooperation with Vietnamese enterprises.
On this occasion, the Vietnam Trade Office in the Philippines also used the opportunity to promote upcoming trade fairs and exhibitions in Vietnam, inviting Philippine businesses, distributors, and buyers to participate. Although the Philippines is considered a promising market for many Vietnamese export goods, its potential remains underutilized.
According to Vietnam’s Trade Counselor in the Philippines, Phung Van Thanh, rice will remain a key export item to the country in 2025 and beyond. He also highlighted the strong potential of other agricultural products, particularly coffee and cashew nuts.
Thanh underscored the importance of developing policies and strategic orientations to boost trade ties and expand market access, especially for agricultural and aquatic products such as fresh flowers, vegetables, fruits, and fresh meat.
