The Vietnamese goods fair 2017 in Hanoi will be held from September 21-25 with 300 booths. In order to increase the linkage between Hanoi industrial sector with other provinces, the Hanoi Industry & Trade Department has requested other provinces’ counterparts to participate in the event, with a view to distribute products and promote Vietnamese goods. As of present, some provinces and cities have confirmed of bringing their specialties to the event.
Also during the event, Hanoi Trade & Industry Department along with Hanoi Promotion Agency and retailing enterprises jointly organized the conference connecting supply and demand, and trade connection between enterprises and provinces across the country. This effort has created opportunities for enterprises in Hanoi and other provinces to introduce and bring their products to retailers across the country; consulting enterprises about labels and packages to meet the customers’ demand and policies of retailers when participating in distribution channels. At the same time, products of participating enterprises in the event will be recommended to join the voting program “Customers’ Favorite Vietnamese goods” in 2017.
Do the organizers have solutions to prevent low quality products from appearing at the event?
Hanoi Industry & Trade Department has requested enterprises taking part in the event to be specialized in producing and selling high quality products with clear origins and brands. Moreover, Hanoi Market Surveillance Agency will increase checking booths at the event. If they find any enterprise selling low quality or fake products, we will have strongly measures to deal with in accordance with the law.
In particular, Hanoi Market Surveillance Agency will have space to display real – fake goods, or goods violated the product’ brand protection, in turn helping customers to gain skills and knowledge in identifying product quality in the most common and easiest way. As such, customer will raise awareness and restrict the spreading of fake products in the market.
