The pavilions from Poland, which have been attending the Vietfood & Beverage-Propack exhibition for the last five years, will host the programme “Tasteful Europe - Tradition and Quality” this year, promoting food products sourced from the EU, with the motto “Food Europe - High Quality, Safe and Tasty”.
The Taiwan Pavilion will exhibit sweet products such as candy, biscuits, cakes, snacks, jellies and jams, besides modern machinery and equipment such as vacuum sealing machines and water filters.
