A NEW CHAPTER IN FOOD BUSINESS

The future of the food business,
From local encounters.

What is needed for the food business in the future is to know new markets and to meet people you can trust and talk to. This tour is an opportunity for companies that want to deliver Japanese food and drinks, companies that want to purchase Vietnamese ingredients and processed foods, and companies that want to propose processing, packaging, and inspection equipment to explore their next steps.

Through dialogue with local companies, we confirm their approach to quality, supply systems, needs of the sales floor, and technologies they would like to introduce, which cannot be seen by price alone. Share objectives through a preliminary survey and adjust business negotiations according to both parties' wishes. You can gain perspectives that will lead to future business decisions from market outlooks by university professors and stories from Japanese companies that have expanded into the market.

The important thing is not to rush into a contract on the spot, but to foster a relationship that continues through estimates, sample exchanges, prototyping, and the next interview. The experience of listening to local voices is also useful for refining products and reviewing procurement sources. On the third day, participants will confirm the information obtained through business negotiations on-site by visiting the companies they interacted with and being guided around the city and secondary markets. During these four days, you will have time to step away from your daily routine and think about the future of your business, as well as opportunities for concrete dialogue. Please come to Ho Chi Minh City in search of an encounter that will bring out your company's strengths. First, please tell us about the business you want to realize.
