In his remarks at the opening ceremony, Vice Chairman of the municipal People's Committee Ho Ky Minh said that the ‘Vietnamese people give priority to using Vietnamese goods' campaign received a large response from residents. There has been a positive change in consumer psychology in prioritising locally-made goods.

He also highlighted the importance of the campaign in building the habit of using quality goods with clear origin, aiming to choose domestically produced products of high quality and reasonable prices as well as other the city’s typical products.

This year's fair offers participating businesses the opportunity to introduce their products and change the production and business thinking in a bid to better meet the requirements of the market and consumers.
