(vasep.com.vn) From 19–21 August 2026, the Vietnam International Seafood Exhibition (Vietfish 2026) will take place at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC) in Ho Chi Minh City. Under the theme "Innovation – Sustainability", Vietfish 2026 continues to serve as Vietnam's flagship annual seafood event, bringing together seafood producers, exporters, importers, buyers, industry experts, government agencies, and stakeholders from across the domestic and global seafood value chain.
As the seafood industry faces evolving market demands, stricter standards, technological transformation, and increasing sustainability requirements, Vietfish 2026 is positioned not only as a product showcase but also as a platform for business networking, market intelligence, and strategic collaboration. This year's exhibition will feature a diverse range of products and services, including processed seafood, value-added products, processing equipment and machinery, packaging solutions, aquaculture technologies, feed, quality control systems, and traceability solutions.
One of the highlights of Vietfish 2026 will be its enhanced B2B networking programs, designed to facilitate practical business opportunities. These include domestic seafood supply-demand matching sessions and international B2B meetings, enabling Vietnamese enterprises to connect directly with distributors, retailers, foodservice operators, and HoReCa businesses, while also expanding engagement with international buyers, exploring new partnerships, and gaining deeper insights into global market trends.
Alongside trade activities, Vietfish 2026 will host five specialized seminars addressing key issues facing the seafood industry. Topics include global seafood market trends, the future workforce for the seafood sector, green technologies for aquaculture and processing, updates on GSA/BAP standards and regulatory requirements in major export markets, and opportunities for Vietnam–China seafood trade cooperation. These seminars are expected to provide practical insights that will help businesses respond more effectively to the changing international marketplace.
The exhibition will also feature a Cooking Show, showcasing the quality, diversity, and culinary versatility of Vietnamese seafood through live cooking demonstrations and tasting experiences. Additional networking and community engagement activities will further enrich the event, creating opportunities for industry participants to strengthen relationships and exchange ideas.
As Vietnam's leading international seafood exhibition, Vietfish 2026 is expected to further reinforce the image of Vietnam's seafood industry as dynamic, innovative, globally connected, and committed to sustainable development.
