RoK food fair to convene in Ho Chi Minh City

The fair is organised by the RoK Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (MAFRA) and the Korean Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation. A representative from MAFRA expressed hope that the event will help expand markets for Korean food and agricultural products in the ASEAN nations, including Vietnam. An exchange will be held, bringing 30 Korean exporters and 60 Vietnamese and regional food importers together to discuss ways to access the Vietnamese food market and promote K-food. Several art shows by Vietnamese and RoK’s artists will be organised during the four-day festival.

The K-Food fair was introduced in 2013 and has been held in many countries, receiving warm response. Similar events are scheduled to take place in other ASEAN nations, such as Thailand and Malaysia, at the end of this year.
