Fair «Xúc tiến thương mại cho các hợp tác xã khu vực miền Nam 2026»

   For six days a park in Gò Vấp turns into a market for more than a hundred cooperatives from across southern Vietnam: farm produce, organic food and craft-village goods side by side, with shoppers and wholesale buyers walking the same aisles. If you have ever wanted regional specialities straight from the people who make them, this is the short cut.

   The fair is run by the Vietnam Cooperative Alliance under the national trade promotion programme for 2026, following its northern-region edition. It fills 134 stands with cooperatives, cooperative unions, production groups, affiliated members of the Alliance network and companies looking for production or trading partners. The organisers have not announced entry conditions for visitors.

   What is on the stands:

• — farm produce, processed food and organic food
• — regional specialities and craft-village goods
• — machinery, equipment, farm supplies and planting stock
• — seafood
• — handicrafts, garments and consumer goods

   The core of the event is business matchmaking: cooperatives sit down with distributors, off-takers and the big retail chains - Aeon, GO!, WinMart, Lotte and Saigon Co.op. The aim is not six days of selling but memoranda, cooperation agreements and supply contracts signed on the spot, so the value chain keeps running after the stands come down.

   Two very different crowds get something here. City shoppers find provincial specialities at source, sold by people who can explain how they were made. Cooperatives, small producers and buyers get the whole region in one place for six days.

   Terms for exhibitors: registration closes on 10 October 2026; a standard stand costs up to 12 million dong in shared fees, with the state covering half of that, up to 6 million dong per stand, under the national trade promotion programme.

   Six days, a hundred and thirty-four stands and most of the Mekong Delta in one park - worth an afternoon of your weekend.
