Vietnam’s biggest presence yet at Moscow’s Worldfood
Seafood exporters from Vietnam have spent over 21,400 Euro to rent an area of 68 sq.m to showcase their products at the Worldfood exhibition in Moscow , Russia , from September 23-26.
This represents the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Processors’s (VASEP) largest ever presence at an international food exhibitions or fair, according to an association representative.
Ho Thi Thu Trang from VASEP said that Moscow is one of the two international food exhibitions that VASEP attends every year - the other taking place in Dubai .
This year, the Moscow exhibition attracted nine members of VASEP, despite the cost of attendance being four times higher than that of Dubai .
“This is because Russia is the biggest consumer of Vietnamese catfish, accounting for 15 percent of the gross export turnover”, said Trang.
This year’s event, the 17th Worldfood exhibition covers over 60,000 sq.m of space and draws 1,300 companies from 61 countries, including traditional members such as Argentina, Belgium, the US, Italy and Germany.
Vietnam ’s representatives made their debut at the event in 2005.
