Korea's Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation (aT) reported export talks worth 956만 dollars for Korean agri-food products in Vietnam, according to biz.heraldcorp.com. The talks took place at the 2026 Hanoi International Food Expo (VIETFOOD & BEVERAGE), held in Hanoi from the 4th to the 7th. The organizers also reported memorandums of understanding (MOU) worth 37만 dollars. The results were announced on the 11th [1].

Eleven Korean exporters and a persimmon export consortium took part. They presented snacks, beverages, ginseng products, fresh fruit, health foods and ready-to-eat meals [1].

## Fresh fruit and heat-treated poultry

The fresh-fruit display focused on Shine Muscat and other new grape varieties, pears and sweet persimmons. Local buyers and consumers could taste the products and try them on site [1].

Heat-treated Korean poultry was presented as a new export item. Exports became possible after a quarantine agreement with Vietnam was reached in April this year. The ministry and aT held a tasting and promotion event at the expo to raise local awareness and look for new deals [1].

## Market and event figures

Vietnam is the fourth-largest export market for Korean agricultural, forestry and livestock food products. As of the end of September this year, Korean exports of these products to Vietnam reached 3억7144만 dollars [1].

Before the expo, aT sent product information to local buyers. At the fair it ran one-on-one meetings between Korean companies and Vietnamese buyers to help find new trading partners [1].

The Hanoi expo is led by Vietnam's Ministry of Industry and Trade and is held twice a year, in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. This year about 350 food companies from 10 countries took part, and about 1만7065 buyers and visitors attended [1].

aT export food director Jeon Gi-chan said Vietnam is a key market with strong interest in the Korean Wave and K-food. He said aT will continue to look for promising products that match local consumption trends and to support exporters in securing new distribution channels [1].
