From January 22 - 25, 2023, Vietnam Pavillion exhibition area at the January Furniture Show (JFS) event welcomed many visitors and potential customers, proving the attractiveness of made-in-Vietnam high quality product in foreign markets.

The UK has been the third-largest trade partner of Vietnam in Europe after Germany and the Netherlands in recent years. Vietnam mainly exports garments and textiles, footwear, wood, and wooden furniture. Vietnam has emerged as the sixth largest wooden furniture exporter to the UK, according to the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

Vietnam earned about US$9 billion from wood exports in the first nine months of this year, a rise of 12 percent over the same period last year, the Association of Vietnam Timber and Forest Product (Vifores) reported.

This is the first time an online exhibition and fair platform known with the name HOPE being officially introduced in Vietnam. The platform is expected to connect Vietnamese wood processing and furniture companies with local customers and partners worldwide.
