"The Vietnam Agricultural Products Week 2025 program is implemented with the aim of promoting and introducing typical agricultural products and regional specialties that meet quality standards to domestic and international consumers. Thereby, contributing to improving the value and competitiveness of Vietnamese agricultural products in the market, connecting supply and demand, creating more favorable conditions for cooperatives and enterprises to have the opportunity to access modern distribution systems and export enterprises, promoting the consumption of agricultural products effectively and sustainably" - the Deputy Minister emphasized.
According to Deputy Minister Nguyen Hoang Long, the program supports localities and businesses in brand building and expanding the market for agricultural product consumption. At the same time, it improves the identification of Vietnamese agricultural products associated with quality, food safety and traceability.
At the event, the Domestic Market Management and Development Department said that Vietnam Agricultural Products Week 2025 is an opportunity for localities to introduce and promote typical agricultural products, contributing to connecting supply and demand, promoting consumption of Vietnamese goods and affirming the brand of Vietnamese agricultural products in the market. Here, hundreds of unique agricultural products are introduced, creating a diverse and attractive exhibition space, attracting a large number of people and tourists.

According to the plan, in the first phase, the Vietnam Agricultural Products Map will introduce a number of typical agricultural products of each province and city, representing the advantages, identity and typical economic values of the locality.
The product list is proposed by localities, based on ensuring the criteria of quality, reputation and regional representation. This approach helps reflect the diverse and rich picture of Vietnamese agricultural products, while creating a foundation for expanding and perfecting the database in the following stages.

This success not only created a strong impression at the event but also affirmed the quality and brand of Vietnamese agricultural and aquatic products in the market.
