Various specialities are for sale such as pork, rice, essential oils, vegetables from Pa Mỷ co-operative in Hà Giang and dried fruits from Vietnamese Agricultural Products co-operative in Hà Nội.
The fair is also a place for enterprises and farmers to share organic farming techniques and technologies.
The fair will run until March 24 at the Vietnamese Women’s Museum, 36 Lý Thường Kiệt Street, Hà Nội.
