The participating exhibitors are introducing such their products as handicrafts, textiles and garments, leather goods and footwear, confectionery, beverages, agricultural and electronic products, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.

Besides, another highlight of this year’s event is a special area displaying the city’s typical rural industrial products, items made by Co Tu ethnic minority people and locally-made traditional handicrafts.

The annual fair aims to facilitate the participating businesses to exchange their trading experiences, and to seek their partners and expand their consumer markets for their products, especially their domestically renowned specialities.

Such a meaningful event also raises the public's awareness about increasing the consumption of high-quality Vietnamese goods in active response to the city’s implementation of the national ‘Vietnamese People Give Priority to Using Vietnamese Goods’ campaign.

Within the framework of the ongoing event, a supply-demand matching conference will be jointly held by the fair’s organisers, the municipal Department of Industry and Trade, the municipal Union of Cooperatives, and the Agency for Regional Industry and Trade and the Department of Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Development under the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
