What happened at HortEx Vietnam 2024
HortEx Vietnam took place on 13–15 March 2024 at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC) in Ho Chi Minh City. Nova Exhibitions and VEAS organised the show, which covers technology for producing and processing vegetables, fruit and flowers. Its focus is specialist horticulture for Southeast Asian markets, bringing equipment, plant material and international contacts into the same halls.
The 2024 exhibition linked growing with the tools and partners that support it. Greenhouse structures, irrigation and post-harvest equipment all have to match the crop and local conditions. A system designed for another climate rarely works unchanged. Visitors weighed offers on maintenance, access to consumables and user training. A stand demonstration cannot replace a trial on a working farm.
Vegetable, fruit and ornamental growers, nurseries, seed companies, equipment suppliers and distributors made up the core audience, along with firms building ties in Southeast Asia. Participants played very different roles. Some grow, while others trade, install systems or advise. Knowing which role a contact plays makes it easier to judge whether a meeting is worth following up.
For foreign suppliers, the 2024 edition showed how growers in Vietnam are adopting horticultural technology and what holds them back. Climate, water quality, maintenance organisation and technical support decide what actually works for local growers. Companies could leave with a list of product adaptations for local conditions and a clearer picture of the partners able to run demonstrations and support customers.
