SA WINE CONNECT TARGETS VIETNAM: AVCC EXPANDS PRESENCE!
April 15, 2024
The Australian Vietnam Chamber of Commerce (SA) is inviting 10 company representatives to join a Business Mission to Vietnam 15 - 20 April 2024.
Program activities include Austrade market briefings, in-market visits, introduction to major supermarkets, wine distributors and retail outlets. Included are major South Australian Wine Tastings in HoChiMinh City and HaNoi targeting key alcohol beverage trade personnel. While the April 2024 program has an emphasis on South Australian wine, there are opportunities for companies in other sectors to participate. For such companies, specifically tailored activities would be developed and integrated with the main program.
Showcase events on South Australian Wine are planned for a day each in HoChiMinh City and HaNoi:
The itinerary also includes Austrade and commercial briefings, and in-market visits. A full day in each city is set aside after the formal tastings to continue trade meetings and market visits.
The AVCC is a member-based association incorporated in South Australia. Its objective is the promotion of trade between Vietnam and Australia.
The mission will be led by AVCC President, Mr David Dean. David has successfully developed business opportunities in Vietnam since 1996. He will also be supported by AVCC Vice Presidents Ms. Betty Dang and Mr Grahame Cox who also have extensive business experience in Vietnam, and on-ground AVCC representatives Mr Tony Bui in HaNoi, and Dr Nghia Vo Van Tranh in HoChiMinh City.
Participation numbers are strictly limited to ensure a sharp focus for the mission and the possibility of greater relationship building.
