Vietnam-Laos Product Week to be held in Hanoi

The Vietnam-Laos Product Week is scheduled to take place from October 1 to October 4 in Hanoi at 93 Dinh Tien Hoang. Organized by the Vietnam Ministry of Industry and Trade's Agency for Domestic Market Management and the Laos Ministry of Industry and Trade's Department of Internal Trade, the event aims to strengthen market connections between the two nations.

Over 100 selected products will be showcased and sold, spanning categories such as food, beverages, fashion, cosmetics, and consumer goods. Featured Lao products include various types of rice (such as Yodsam and Champahom), buffalo and beef products, various teas, and dried fruits. Vietnamese offerings include regional specialties like Hanoi com, Hue starch fish cakes, and various natural or vegan cosmetics.

Beyond direct sales to consumers, the event serves as a strategic platform for businesses from both countries to research the Hanoi market, understand consumer preferences, and identify new distribution channels and partnership opportunities. The initiative follows a memorandum of understanding between the two ministries regarding domestic market management and development.
