Webinar: Opportunities in Vietnam: main business opportunities in the food and beverage sector, trading for European companies, in collaboration with EEN Vietnam.
Webinar zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/8892...
Vietnam is currently among the most attractive F&B markets in Asia, given its population size of nearly 100 million people and its rapidly growing middle class. In 2019, the country ranked 10th in Asia. Spending on food and beverages currently accounts for the largest share in the monthly consumer spending structure.
Despite the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the food and beverage industry in Vietnam also has many strong growth opportunities. Currently, more and more consumers are paying attention to nutritional foods of plant origin, organic foods or foods with healthy ingredients.
In particular, the current European Union-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) will bring greater export and trade opportunities between European companies and Vietnamese companies in this sector.
In collaboration with Sicindustria, EEN Vietnam (CCIFV) involved several experts - French companies and entrepreneurs - who have been on the Vietnam market for more than 10 years, to share insights on the development path of this sector and their experience in Vietnam.
Moderators: Hanh Nguyen EEN Vietnam & Giada Platania Sicindustria
Guests:
Jean-Marc Brutus - CEO of Can Do Ltd. Bellany - Ice cream
Philippe Perruchot - Entrepreneur of Saint-Honoré Bakery Café Restaurant Concepts
Vincent Mourou - Founder of Marou Faiseurs de Chocolat
