Look closely at the supply chain behind many coffee shelves and seafood counters, and Vietnam is often somewhere in it. The country has built a reputation as one of Southeast Asia's leading food exporters, with coffee and seafood sitting at the front of that story. Both categories are known for scale, quality, and the ability to supply international markets at volume.
Many suppliers have the product. Finding the right buyers in the right markets is the harder part. Export trends point to a clear commercial opening: Vietnam's established supply is looking for expanding demand, and Russia offers exactly that.
WorldFood Expo 2027 is the practical bridge between the two.
Vietnam is one of the world's leading coffee exporters, and coffee is a cornerstone of its agricultural exports. From robusta beans to processed and instant formats, Vietnamese coffee reaches buyers across many regions and sits in supply chains serving retail, wholesale, and food service.
Tea is a valuable addition to the offer. Vietnam has a long tea-growing tradition and a growing export sector, giving buyers a wide choice of leaf grades and finished products. Together, these categories give Vietnamese suppliers a credible offer in front of international buyers.
For importers and distributors, this is a chance to review coffee and tea products from established producers who understand export requirements. For suppliers, the task is matching that production strength to markets where demand is rising and there is still room to secure listings.
A clear product tier, consistent quality, and reliable supply records all help turn interest into orders.
Seafood is another pillar of Vietnam's export strength. The country is a leading exporter of seafood, including farmed shrimp and pangasius, and it ships to buyers across many markets. That scale, combined with established processing and cold-chain systems, makes Vietnamese seafood a viable option for importers planning repeat orders.
Buyers sourcing across the fish and seafood category are looking for suppliers who can meet volume requirements, maintain consistent specifications and provide the documentation that cross-border trade requires. Vietnamese exporters are well placed to meet those requirements.
Demand matters too. Current fish and seafood trends point to continued appetite for reliable, well-presented seafood in international markets.
Suppliers who can demonstrate consistency and clear positioning are in a strong position to build lasting relationships. Buyers, in turn, gain access to a growing pool of partners able to deliver large orders.
Russia is a large and varied market with sustained demand for imported food and drink, and it is attracting growing interest from international exporters.
For many Southeast Asian exporters, Russia remains an under-developed market, which makes it one of the more interesting routes to explore.
The logic works in both directions. For exporters, Russia offers access to new buyers, distributors, and investors who are actively looking for supply partners. For Russian buyers, Vietnam and the wider region offer a dependable source of coffee, tea, and seafood at the quality and volume they need.
Strong supply and clear demand exist on both sides. What has been missing is a direct point of connection.
The answer is WorldFood Expo 2027, a four-day exhibition from 14-17 September 2027 at Moscow, Crocus Expo, Pavillion 3. It is bringing together suppliers, distributors and investors from across the region and beyond.
For exhibitors, the value is direct. The event opens the door to a vast, growing market, puts your products in front of serious buyers, and creates the connections needed to expand your business across the country and beyond. Submit an exhibit enquiry to secure your place.
For attendees, the benefit is just as clear. Buyers gain access to new supply partners and a wide choice of sourcing options under one roof, with the chance to compare products and suppliers side by side.
WorldFood Expo 2027 is where supply meets demand - and where new trade relationships begin.
