During the five-day event, businesses will have the opportunity to introduce their products, seek new partners and expand their markets.

The event aims to promote the culture, history and potential of traditional Vietnamese craft villages to local and international visitors.

Two seminars will be held during the event to provide businesses with updated information about the Australian and Japanese markets.

The organizing board said that the show has also been advertised to more than 60 nations around the world and so far, 489 importers from 41 countries have visited the fair.

Vu Thi Cam Tu, director of An Do Co, Ltd, said her company brought unique products from Bat Trang ceramic village to the exhibition, most notably high value-added items with modern designs that were produced in an environmentally friendly way to conserve materials and fuel.

Vietnam’s handicraft import-export turnover hit nearly US$1.5 billion and is growing at an annual rate of more than 10 percent. Many rattan, bamboo, ceramic and wood products are highly competitive and appreciated in foreign markets.
