Vietnamese food firms exhibit in China

Two Vietnamese businesses have registered to exhibit their products at SIAL China, Asia’s largest food and beverage show to be held on May 5-7.

The Long An Food Processing Export JSC and Rita Food & Drink Co Ltd will take part in the 17th edition of SIAL China 2016 at the Shanghai New International Expo Center.

About eight other Vietnamese companies have shown interest in attending as well.

The expo is expected to welcome 66,000 visitors and over 2,900 exhibitors from 65 countries, according to a representative of the organiser Comexposium.

The exhibition will showcase 21 kinds of products ranging from canned and preserved food to fruit, vegetable and seafood leading brands.

They include Helios, Spain’s jam market leader, Ceremony Gida, Turkey’s leader in chewing gum and Super Group, well-known in Singapore with Asian Coffee, among others.

SIAL China 2016 will see the first ever milk- and milk-based product zone where Belgium and Germany will introduce their prestigious products.

Last year, 10 Vietnamese companies took part in the event displaying their products of rice, beans, fruit and snacks. Thirty-four Vietnamese entrepreneurs visited the fair last year.
