Promoting Supply-Demand Connections and Innovation

Beyond product promotion, the event offered a valuable opportunity for start-up enterprises and research institutions from Can Tho to introduce scientific and technological achievements in agriculture and biotechnology.

By actively participating in activities throughout the event, from the opening ceremony to the closing session, the Can Tho delegation strengthened cooperative relationships with Tay Ninh Province and other localities in the Mekong Delta region. These connections are expected to open up sustainable market opportunities for the city's agricultural products and technology-based solutions.

Reinforcing Can Tho’s Position as a Science and Technology Hub

Can Tho’s presence at this event went beyond product exhibition. It reaffirmed the city’s role as a leading center in applying science and technology to agricultural production and trade. Through the integration of innovative solutions such as product traceability systems, Can Tho continues to build consumer trust, enhance product value, and contribute to the sustainable development of Vietnam’s agricultural sector.

The successful participation in the 2026 Tay Ninh OCOP Products and Trade Week demonstrated Can Tho’s commitment to innovation-driven growth and its vision of becoming a regional hub for science, technology, and smart agricultural development.
