Fourteen Vietnamese businesses exporting and processing agriculture and
aquaculture products are participating in the 38th International Food
and Beverage Exhibition in Japan (Foodex Japan 2013), which opened on
March 5.
Their products, including rice, fish
sauce, cakes and beverage, are displayed on an area of 138 sq. meters at
the Makuhari Messe International Convention Complex in Chiba
Prefecture.
On the occasion, the Ministry of
Agriculture and Rural Development joined hands with the Vietnamese
Embassy in Japan and the Japanese ASEAN Center to hold a
seminar, in which they discussed how to ensure food safety for products
shipped to Japan and to boost trade and investment promotion in
agriculture, forestry and fishery.
Foodex Japan
is the largest international exhibition on food and beverage in the
Asia-Pacific region. It is also a good opportunity for businesses in the
sector to seek partners and expand their operation.
This year, the four-day fair draws the participation of around 2,500
businesses from 66 countries and territories and about 75,000
visitors. -VNA
