The annual even always attracts thousands of visitors and consumers. According to Nguyen Ba Bang, Head of the HPA’s Department of Agriculture, the number of units, manufacturers and suppliers registered to participate in each fair has been higher than the previous year. Specifically, the fair in 2020 featured the participation of more than 100 booths. Many businesses and suppliers who participated in the fair in previous years also registered to introduce their products at this year's fair.
