The fair has 120 booths and attracts local rural industrial workshops, exporters, industrial associations and traditional craft villages from the area.
According to Hoang Minh Lam, Director of the Hanoi Center for Industrial Promotion and Development Consulting under the Hanoi Department of Industry and Trade, the fair aims to help businesses and producers to market their products related to tourism and preservation of local cultural heritage.
The event is expected to strengthen links between producers, distributors, and consumers.
Rural industrial products from the district have played a crucial role in building new rural areas and providing stable income for residents, contributing to the reduction of poverty and the local socio-economic development.

The city expects to organize 60 major events, including ten international fairs for an annual growth of 6%-8% in handicraft exports and plans to create 650-800 new designs for domestic and international markets.
