The opening ceremony of Balmoral Show 2023 was attended by Vietnamese Ambassador to the UK Nguyen Hoang Long and representatives of the Northern Ireland Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA).

Balmoral Show is a traditional fair, beginning 154 years ago. This year’s fair includes many types of goods and services, from local agricultural specialties and animal feed to technology, machinery, and agricultural raw materials.

The fair also contains a food court, shopping and entertainment area, traditional contests and local agricultural promotion activities. This is not only a destination for agricultural businesses and organizations, but also attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists to visit, shop, enjoy food and entertain.

The Vietnamese pavilion displays products of many agricultural and food brands such as Ong Cua ST25 rice, Huong Sen rice, Huong Sen vermicelli, pho and rice paper, Vinh Thuan powder; Huong Sen Vegan spring rolls, dried fruits, seafood, Seahorse King frozen vegetables (Hainan International company), Saigon Lager beer (Sabeco company), Golden Roast HaiFong 3-in-1 coffee, L’amant coffee (Vinh Hiep company), coconut water, aloe vera juice (Thabico Tien Giang Food Industry JSC); Hon Me Hau Loc shrimp paste (Thien Hong company).

According to Commercial Counselor of Vietnam Trade Office in the UK Nguyen Canh Cuong, with more than 100,000 visitors, Balmoral Show 2023 is a great opportunity for Vietnamese businesses to promote the agricultural goods and agricultural industry to Northern Ireland distributors and consumers.

This is also an opportunity for Vietnamese businesses to understand the food and beverage consumption tastes of the emerging market of Northern Ireland and connect with potential customers.

Cuong also referred to the participation of Vietnamese businesses at the UK’s largest Food and Beverage Fair in Birmingham at the end of April, which is said to increase the presence of many Vietnamese products in Northern Ireland and throughout the UK.

He added that many Vietnamese people living, studying and working in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland are very happy to see the image of their homeland through the products displayed at the fair. They expected that Vietnamese brands with high quality products will gradually conquer local distributors and consumers.

Officials from DAERA and the Northern Ireland Regional Government Office, representatives of many large businesses in the region and visitors enjoyed and praised Vietnamese specialties displayed at the fair.

Both sides also discussed a plan to send and receive a Northern Ireland trade delegation to Vietnam by the end of this year.

Vehicles can easily move on usually-busy two-way streets. Compared to normal days, the traffic moving towards the capital’s gateways is heavy, although there is no signs of severe congestion. A long line of vehicles waits at a green light on Nguyen Trai street. A traffic police officer arrives early on Trieu Khuc street in order to guide the flow of traffic. The Nguyen Xien-Nguyen Trai intersection is slightly crowded, with vehicles able to move at a slow pace. Vehicles only clog up the area as cars and motorbikes wait for the light to turn green. During rush hour this morning, the majority of vehicles move at a snail’s pace on Nguyen Trai street. The same situation can be seen on Truong Chinh street.
