HCM CITY — The first Vietnam ASEAN International Furniture & Home Accessories Fair will be held in HCM City’s Saigon Exhibition and Convention Centre from August 29 to September 1, featuring nearly 200 exhibitors in 600 booths. VIFA ASEAN 2023 will see the participation of many reputable local and international furniture and handicraft manufacturers, including those from the US, Korea, China, Japan, India, the Netherlands, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Thailand, and Cambodia. Inflation and economic recession in many countries, especially Việt Nam’s key export markets, have made customers tighten their spending on furniture products. Wood producers and exporters are pinning high hopes on trade fairs and expos, he said. The fair will offer an opportunity for businesses to find new international customers, including those in the region, he said.
