“This is the first time an event has been expanded beyond the premise of the Carrefour supermarket and took up the entire space of the Collégien shopping center, one of the largest shopping malls in the city. French consumers not only come here to shop, but also to experience a Vietnamese cultural space,” said Vu Anh Son, Head of the Vietnam Trade Office in France.

10 Vietnamese enterprises are introducing quality goods to French consumers, such as dragon fruit, mango, grapefruit, fish sauce, pho, vermicelli and cashew nuts.

Coralie Bellérophon, a French customer, said there are many choices here. “With products like vermicelli, mushrooms and sauces, we can create many Vietnamese dishes with authentic flavors.”

Vietnamese Goods Week in France is expected to serve as a bridge for Vietnamese products to penetrate other markets in Europe.
