Running until June 2, the fair attracted 120 enterprises and businesses establishments from 12 provinces and centrally-run cities in Việt Nam, the Cambodian provinces of Takeo and Kandal, and Champasak province of Laos. The fair features 300 stalls, which are showcasing a wide range of products, particularly farm produces and typical products of the localities.
