The exhibition, organized by the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP), drew 302 stands from 170 businesses involved in the seafood processing industry, machinery and equipment manufacturing and related services. Scores of leading trade partners to Vietnam’s seafood industry from Japan, the US, Thailand, Singapore, and Europe took part in the event.
