As recorded, the fair drew much attention from locals and visitors. Ms. Tran Thi Thanh Tung, residing in Hoa Xuan Ward, Cam Le District, Da Nang shared “My family often eats the Binh Dinh Province-branded Thanh Van fish cakes, so when I hear about this fair, I immediately go shopping in large quantities. The prices at the fair are stable and there are a variety of products to choose from. I really like going to the fair because I can both shop and look at the products”.

Along with manufacturers and distributors, the fair had the participation of many cooperatives in the city. The Lang Phu Son Cooperative in Hoa Khuong Commune, Hoa Vang District brought a variety of products, including fish cakes, snail cakes, sausages, Chinese sausages and traditional products of Tet.

Ms. Le Thi Bich Van, representative of the cooperative, hoped that through the fair, she connected with many units and customers to know more about the products.

The Phuc Loc Tho Import-Export Investment JSC headquartered in Binh Chanh District, Ho Chi Minh City, introduced 18 types of honey products, of which 3 types were certified with 4-star OCOP.

Mr. Phan Duc, the company representative said that “In Da Nang alone, the company has participated in about 10 fairs. In addition to introducing products to customers, the company hopes to find a source of wholesale customers as well as have a main distribution unit in the city”.

The Da Nang Spring Fair 2025 is one of the annual trade promotion activities to continue to effectively implement programmes and activities in response to the campaign “Vietnamese people prioritize using Vietnamese goods”. At the same time, it contributes to stabilising the market in the city before, during and after the Lunar New Year 2025.

With more than 250 booths, the products and services on display at the fair were diverse in items such as food, beverages, fashion, footwear, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, household appliances, interior and exterior, OCOP products, and handicrafts.

Within the framework of the fair, there was a livestream programme of 60 OCOP products and regional specialties of Da Nang and other provinces and cities (2 livestream sessions).

Ms. Do Thi Quynh Tram, Deputy Director of the Da Nang Department of Industry and Trade, said that this year's fair saw the participation of more than 185 units and enterprises from 20 provinces and cities nationwide.

“The Spring Fair will continue to be a “destination” for businesses and consumers, as well as a place to exchange, trade, shopping and entertainment in the joyful and bustling atmosphere of the days before Tet. This contributes to stabilising the market, stimulating consumption to increase purchasing power, and encouraging businesses to improve production and business capacity in a bid to develop a sustainable domestic market”, said Ms. Do Thi Quynh Tram.
