The capital city’s consumers also have the opportunity to shop for many specialties and taste local cuisine with quality assurance, food hygiene and safety from localities nationwide.
The event, organized by the Agricultural Trade Promotion Center under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) in collaboration with the People's Committees of Hanoi and Lang Son Province, features 30 booths introducing specialties such as custard-apple, star anise, specialty vegetables of all kinds, and black jelly.
