This activity is within the framework of the "National Trade Promotion Program 2023" to support SMEs enterprises to access and export to one of the most "demanding" export markets.

The ambassador said that this proves that Vietnam’s seafood exports have a strong foothold in a demanding market like the North US.

The Ambassador also said that although the challenge is great and facing stiff competition from international companies, the development prospects of Vietnamese seafood enterprises in the US market, especially in the North, is very bright.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Sac, Chairwoman of the VASEP, the increase in the number of Vietnamese enterprises participating in this year's fair is because of the demand for promoting their products, brands and finding the way to "return" to the North American market after the COVID-19 pandemic.
