For the first time, businesses of two provinces Khanh Hoa and Lam Dong have joined together for trade promotion and cooperation to seek partners and expand market.
Recently, Investment, Trade and Tourism Promotion Center of Lam Dong Province and Trade Promotion and Industry Encouragement Center of Khanh Hoa Province jointly organized a conference in Nha Trang on trade promotion and cooperation among businesses of the two provinces. The conference was participated by 100 businesses.
Businesses from Lam Dong brought many vegetable and fruit specialties to the event like strawberry, carrot, red kohlrabi, tomato, etc. while businesses in Nha Trang introduced products of fish sauce, coffee and salangane nest.
Lam Dong currently is the supplier of fresh vegetable and flowers for the whole country with annual yield of about 2.1 billion flowers, 1.8 million tons of vegetable, 300,000 tons of tea, etc. Meanwhile, as one of leading tourist centers in the country, Nha Trang – Khanh Hoa is a big market of Lam Dong’s products. Moreover, products of Khanh Hoa like fish sauce, seafood, salangane nest, etc. also need markets without sea like Lam Dong.
At present, producers of high-quality vegetable and fruits have a desire to develop their distribution into high-class hotels and resorts in Nha Trang – Khanh Hoa. Nguyen Cong Thua, from Anh Dao Cooperative, which has 270 hectares of vegetable grown according to VietGAP standard by a staff of 300, said, “We introduce to the conference our high-quality products to seek partners and distributors to bring them to consumers, respond to the program Vietnamese people use Vietnamese goods.”
Nguyen Thi Bich Thuy, director of Biofresh Company, majoring in products from strawberries in Lam Dong, said, “We want to get comments on our products from Khanh Hoa businesses. We hope to find trade opportunities from the conference and long-term distribution in Nha Trang.”

At the conference, General Director of Yasaka-Saigon-Nhatrang Hotel Dong Luong Son, said that “Many specialities of the two provinces are made in bad quality and sold with high prices for tourists in many stores. To end this situation, businesses have to jointly build good and reliable distribution channels.”
Do Huu Viet, director of 584 Nha Trang Seafod Joint Stock Company, suggested, “There should more such meetings for businesses to exchange and trade with each others. Khanh Hoa and Lam Dong are neighbors but have different features. It’s extremely good when the two provinces cooperate.”
At the conference, 16 memoranda have been signed, including 14 between the two provinces’ businesses and 2 between Khanh Hoa Province’s businesses.
“To satisfy the cooperation demand of the businesses, Trade Promotion and Industry Encouragement Center of Khanh Hoa Province will propose the provincial People’s Committee to hold 1 or 2 similar conferences in 2015”, said Le Ngoc, temporary director of the center.
