In recent years, Nghe An has paid attention to organizing fairs to promote product brands in the area. According to the report, the Department of Industry and Trade has organized 5 large-scale regional fairs (over 300 booths) in Vinh city; 100 medium-scale fairs in districts and towns in the province of domestic and foreign enterprises, with a scale of over 100 booths, attracting about 50,000 - 80,000 customers to visit and shop, achieving revenue of 7-10 billion VND for fairs in Vinh city; 20,000 - 25,000 customers, revenue of 4 - 8 billion VND for fairs in districts and towns.

Ms. Vo Thi An, Deputy Director of the Department of Industry and Trade, contributed ideas to the project.

Trade promotion activities have contributed to boosting the consumption of goods and developing the economy in the province. The province's products have been sold in many provinces and cities nationwide and exported to 96 countries around the world.

However, the market for the province's products is still limited and unstable; the average export turnover per capita is low compared to the national average, and still depends heavily on the Chinese market.

Some handicraft products of western Nghe An introduced in Vinh city.

According to the Draft “Project for Trade Promotion of Nghe An Province in the period of 2016 - 2020”, the target by 2020 is to increase the export turnover in the province to 1,200 million USD, of which the export turnover of goods will reach 850-900 million USD, with export markets in over 120 countries and territories.

At the same time, improve the competitiveness of Nghe An enterprises and products, strive to expand the market to over 40 provinces and cities nationwide. Strive to build over 20 leading Nghe An brands, Nghe An products are increasingly strong in the domestic and international markets, the goal is to have 60 branded products known in domestic and foreign markets.

After listening to the comments of representatives of the Departments and branches attending the meeting, Comrade Le Xuan Dai, Permanent Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, requested the Department of Industry and Trade to accept the comments of the branches to continue perfecting the project.

Accordingly, review and evaluate products and markets more closely to set reasonable goals; Trade promotion activities in the coming period need to be promoted in both domestic and foreign markets.
