The Tien Giang provincial government is set to organize a fruit festival in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
This vibrant festival will offer a plethora of activities, including insightful seminars and conferences, aimed at promoting the region’s specialty fruits and fruit-based products. One seminar will focus on enhancing the capability and skills of fruit vendors, teaching them how to effectively utilize e-commerce platforms and live streaming to boost their sales. Another important discussion will revolve around constructing a sustainable durian supply chain, ensuring its presence in the international market.
The festival will also showcase the beauty of Tien Giang and Vietnam through a conference promoting orchard tours and the unveiling of a digital tourism map of tropical fruit gardens in the province. Participants will be treated to a delightful street food experience and can showcase their culinary skills in a fruit dish contest.
With dedicated areas for fruit, fruit-based product displays, and the OCOD initiative, the event will celebrate the diversity and quality of Vietnamese fruits. It aims to build strong Vietnamese fruit brands, foster socio-economic development, and educate consumers about the safety, quality, origin, and nutritional benefits of the region’s produce.
