The exhibition, organised by the Viet Nam Association of Seafood Exporters and Processors (VASEP), aims at connecting domestic and foreign seafood companies.

Under the theme “Asia’s Home of Seafood,” the exhibition this year has 350 booths set up by domestic and foreign companies.

This industry event has attracted some 200 seafood exporters and processors from Viet Nam and 15 other countries and territories, such as Malaysia, Thailand, China and Japan, as well as Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines and Germany, along with Poland and the U.S.

In addition, the fair will provide participants with business opportunities, chances to boost trade, get new partners and sign contracts, besides promoting Vietnamese aqua-products in international markets.

Within the framework of the fair, many activities will take place, such as cooking demonstration, tasting Vietnamese seafood products, launching new products and organising specialised workshops on seafood.

The Viet Nam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers – the organizer of the event – said they hope that this year’s annual event will contribute to the growth of fish and fishery exports for businesses in these industries.

The event is where food professionals can source the latest trends and technologies in industries related to wild caught as well as farmed fish and seafood (whether freshwater or saltwater).
