Agricultural and culinary promotion in Can Tho

Overview

Can Tho is hosting various events to promote the agricultural and culinary heritage of the Mekong Delta.

In late August 2026, the city launched Food Week at Hau River Park, featuring approximately 100 stalls showcasing local specialties, folk cakes, and diverse regional cuisines. The initiative aims to establish ‘Tay Do Cuisine’ as a signature tourism brand for the city.

Looking ahead to November 2026, Can Tho is scheduled to host the second Vietnam International Rice Festival. Under the theme ‘Vietnam’s Green Rice: Reaching the World’, the festival will focus on sustainable rice value chains, digital agriculture, and high-quality, low-emission rice projects to strengthen the nation’s role in global food security.
