Some 500 Japanese hi-tech agricultural products were exhibited at an expo in Ho Chi Minh City on Sunday, as seven leading businesses from Japan tried to find new customers in a bid to expand into Viet Nam.

The event was organized by the GK-Organic Corporation, a Viet Nam-Japan joint venture, with the participation of such firms as Hyponex, Hanagokoro, Menedael, Toyo Chuu, Watanabe Pipe, Hiep Phat and Iseki.

These firms are manufacturers of clean soils, high-quality seeds, smart fertilizers, hi-tech agro-machinery, net houses and other agriculture equipment, enabling them to supply all of the necessary materials for agricultural production in Viet Nam.

Thousands of visitors, both Vietnamese farmers and agribusinesses, were thus intrigued by the products and machines displayed at the event.

The hi-tech agriculture expo was expected to help the seven Japanese businesses find new customers in Viet Nam, as they have all embarked on an overseas expansion journey given the stagnant market at home.
