The event aims to introduce and promote agricultural products, processed foods, OCOP products, handicraft products and typical traditional craft villages of Hà Nội and other provinces and cities. It is a chance to boost tourism promotion activities, enhance brand value and preserve the value of traditional craft villages. It also helps promote trade connections between Hà Nội and other provinces and cities, and increases the production value of agriculture and tourism services, and socio-economic development.

This is an important agricultural trade promotion event in the series of activities that have been successfully held in Đông Anh, Ba Vì, Ứng Hòa and Sóc Sơn districts in 2023.
