The event, held both in person and via videoconference, was attended by Vietnam’s trade offices and trade promotion organisations in such countries as Russia, Sweden, Pakistan, and China, along with the trade promotion centres of Gia Lai, Phu Tho, Ha Tinh, and Long An provinces, and Da Nang city.

Participants provided updates about the market situation and demand, as well as criteria for exporting tea, cassava, white stone, and wood products.

Some businesses of Yen Bai were connected with those in Vietnam and other countries like Russia, China, and Pakistan to introduce their products, seek partners, expand markets, and build appropriate production and business plans.

The conference was an occasion for domestic enterprises to make self-evaluation of their capacity so as to carry out production restructuring and boost partnership, thus gradually reducing the export of raw materials and increase the manufacturing of processed items to gain higher value and save natural resources.

This was also a good chance for Yen Bai province and local businesses and cooperatives to grasp market information and export requirements while introducing local potential and strengths to potential domestic and international partners.
