Opportunities for Vietnam’s farm produce to penetrate RoK
(VOV) - A workshop discussing opportunities for Vietnam’s farm produce to penetrate the Republic of Korea (RoK) will be held in Ho Chi Minh city on May 13.
It is co-organized by the ASEAN-Korea Centre (AKC) and the Trade Promotion Agency under the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
According to AKC, the workshop aims to help Vietnam’s small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) be more competitive in marketing their farm produce. It expects to attract the participation of about 100 SMEs operating in farming, processing and exporting agri and aqua products.
The workshop coincides with the Vietnam International Food Industry Exhibition (Vietnam Foodexpo 2015) - the first and largest of its kind in Vietnam. This will provide a good opportunity for AKC to establish a cooperative network with all businesses in the food industry.
AKC’s marketing experts will attend the workshop and talk about new trends on the purchase and supply of products, tender procedures, and product quality control.
AKC plans to organise similar workshops in Cambodia, Brunei, Laos and Myanmar this year. The event will contribute to strengthen bilateral economic ties between ASEAN and the RoK in general and Vietnam and the RoK in particular.
