The Big C supermarket announced on January 2 that it is exporting four containers of Tet specialties to French Groupe Casino-invested supermarket chains in France, Brazil and Thailand to meet the demand of overseas Vietnamese during the Tet holiday.


(VOV) – Businesses are busy shipping their special commodities for Vietnamese nationals residing overseas as the traditional lunar New Year (Tet) festival is drawing near.


Tran Thanh Phu, director of Tan Dong Co. Ltd., said that the company has exported approximately 2 tonnes of Chung cake and other specialty rice cakes to the European market in addition to significant quantities of frozen and dried food.


Other Hanoi-based companies are also actively promoting Vietnamese goods to foreign markets. For example, Huong Canh Co. Ltd. has exported two containers of pickled onions to Japan while Vinamit Joint Stock Company is preparing to ship 20 tonnes of dried farm produce to the US, Canada and China, alongside new products such as dried lotus, soya beans and black beans.


Many supermarkets and businesses in HCM City are also energetically promoting Vietnamese goods to foreign markets.


Do Kim Dung who is in charge of purchasing frozen and fresh products for Metro Trade Office said that Metro Cash & Carry Vietnam, Metro Trade Office in Singapore and affiliated Vietnamese businesses are closely cooperating to market Vietnamese farm produce at the Metro system worldwide.


Last year, Metro Cash & Carry Vietnam directly purchased farm produce valued at over US$6 million from Vietnam’s agricultural sector to supply to the Metro retail network worldwide. In 2014, the value of purchasing contracts is expected to rise to over US$12 million, with key products such as fruits and vegetables.
