The HortEx Vietnam united participants from over 20 countries worldwide and active either in floriculture or in (supplying) horticulture. From the suppliers part, the Netherlands and Italy were represented strongly. Of the floral participants, most were Taiwanese. The visitors of the exhibition originated from South-East Asian countries mainly: Cambodia, Thailand, Philippines, Taiwan, but also up to Korea, Australia, China, US and India.
Most suppliers participating in the show were pleased with the amount and level of visitors. Judging by the interest shown in their products, the market is promising to suppliers. "We have to see how it turns out, but the interest in our products is serious."
Both horticulture and floriculture in Vietnam and surrounding countries are scaling up currently. Due to a rising market demand, greenhouses are replacing open field production. Also the government has several development packages, including a VND100-trillion ($4.4 billion) one to develop hi-tech agriculture.
