Vietfish 2023's three days of bright and colorful experiences came to a conclusion with a lot of emotions and results that exceeded expectations, providing encouraging signs for seafood in the year-end time.
The 24th Vietfish, with its great international stature in Viet Nam has brought about impressive results. In 3 days, with the participation of 420 exhibitors from 14 countries, the event recorded a significant increase in the number of visitors, up to 12,000 people, from 52 countries, an increase of 14.2% compared to 2022. These numbers are positive signals for businesses to make more successful connections.
Vietfish 2023, with the theme "Quality Connected Destination," emphasises that quality is a measure of the worth of Vietnamese seafood in the global market
According to VASEP, the exhibition's organiser, the Vietfish 2023 expo will take place at a time when the seafood sector is experiencing several problems due to market demand and economic inflation. Consequently, holding a specialised event is an important chance for businesses to attract consumers, analyse the market, and solidify client connections.
Vietfish 2023, with the theme "Quality Connected Destination," emphasises that quality is a measure of the worth of Vietnamese seafood in the global market, in addition to increasing the amount of deep-processed, diverse, and convenient seafood. According to the world's highest standards of food safety, environment, and social responsibility, quality is not only at the processing stage but also a tight link in all phases of the supply chain.
Aside from traditional items, the products on exhibit this year are more diversified than in past years, with most firms focusing on presenting value-added products. Despite the fact that we are only at the beginning presented and evaluated, but this serves as the foundation for firms to survey consumer preferences and produce new items.

Vietfish 2023 also saw active operations in the field of international pavilions from Germany, China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and others, with many unique items on exhibit, such as arctic prawns, tempura, and other prawns, squid, and fish products prepared with wonderful tastes.
Even though there will be a significant increase in domestic visitors at Vietfish in 2023, what will be particularly exciting for the exhibitors is the large number of foreign visitors, many of whom will be of high quality, who will be concentrated in countries like Japan, Korea, China, and Australia. Additionally, a number of visitors from the Middle East and South Asia will help make Vietfish 2023 a particular success.

"The active visa card is one of the things that makes it much simpler for foreign tourists to go to business events in Vietnam rapidly and conveniently. This policy has benefited Vietfish," according to one of the participating businesses. The machinery and equipment display section was similarly lively, with machinery, technology, and auxiliary equipment for the seafood sector from Viet Nam and other nations participating in the show for the first time. This year, Chinese pavilions participated in several exhibits of technology used in the production, processing, and preservation of seafood.A series of seven theme seminars were held inside the exhibition framework to address the present state of the seafood business. Three worldwide seminars are closely connected to the strengths of Viet Nam's seafood sector: the prawn industry, the pangasius industry, global market trends, and IUU concerns. As a result, experts say that, while Viet Nam's aquaculture business has immense potential, the issue of traceability has yet to be fully handled. That is one of the reasons why Viet Nam's seafood has faced tough competition and has failed to acquire market share in important countries such as the United States and the European Union. At the same time, the conference discussed the future of the seafood business, with an emphasis on items with high nutritional value and ready-to-eat products.
This is a key foundation for Vietfish's organisational orientation in 2024, which will focus on deep-processed seafood and value-added goods. The 25th edition of Vietfish continues to serve visitors and partners with consumer-oriented seafood items that have been thoroughly studied.
Vietfish 2024 is planned to be organized by VASEP from August 21st to 23rd, 2024, at Hall A+B, Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC), District 7, Ho Chi Minh City.
