Dalat is “Honor City” of HortEx Vietnam 2018
Dalat is the capital of the Lam Dong Province in Vietnam. The city is located 1,500m above sea level on the Langbian Plateau in the southern parts of the Central Highlands region.
Dalat is situated some 300 kilometers north of Ho Chi Minh City. Therefore most growers in Dalat trade their produce in Ho Chi Minh City and mostly have representative offices in Ho Chi Minh City.
This year, HortEx Vietnam has been cooperating with the Lam Dong Tourism, Trade and Investment Promotion Center (TIPC) in order to grant the special status of Honor City to Dalat.
Dalat, with its cool climate, has become a favorable area for growing flowers and fruits & vegetables. In the recent years Dalat has become the main production area in the South of Vietnam. Having recognized this, the Dalat area is attracting more and more foreign investors.
The Lam Dong Tourism, Trade and Investment Promotion Center (TIPC) plays a very important role in connecting the (foreign) investors to local businesses.
With having granted the special status of Honor City to Dalat, the organisers of HortEx Vietnam 2018 work very closely with the Lam Dong Tourism, Trade and Investment Promotion Center (TIPC) in order to attract and promote the exhibition under the targeted visitor groups from Dalat.
In addition the Dalat Flower Association is having its own pavilion at the exhibition where they will showcase a number of their member companies.
HortEx Vietnam 2018 is supported by the Vietnamese Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Vietnam, Lam Dong Tourism, Trade and Investment Promotion Center (TIPC), Vietnam Fruit & Vegetable Association (VinaFruit) and the Dalat Flower Association.
Currently the exhibition is host to exhibitors from 17 countries including Belgium, China, Ecuador, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Kenya, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, U.S.A. and Vietnam.
