Recommended actions
- 1Register for VIS 2026 via official portal or contact KOTRA Hanoi/Ho Chi Minh City.

- 3Confirm current quality certifications (HACCP, ISO 22000, Korean export certificates).
- 4Schedule 1-1 meetings with HiteJinro and Korean food and logistics enterprises before the event.
Why it matters
This is the year's largest B2B sourcing event, where Korean enterprises have mandates to source new suppliers — unlike typical trade fairs, VIS meetings typically lead to actual contracts within 3–6 months.
Who is affected
Vietnamese enterprises manufacturing and exporting processed food, seafood, beverages, machinery, shipbuilding, and logistics services — particularly those holding HACCP, ISO certifications or with Korean export experience.
Opportunity
Sign long-term export contracts with Korean enterprises; HiteJinro is sourcing processed food and beverages from Vietnam for their global distribution network.
Risk
Competition from other ASEAN nations; Korean food safety certification (MFDS) requirements may present barriers.
