Hortex Vietnam 2025 gets AIPH approval

The International Association of Horticultural Producers (AIPH) has officially approved HortEx Vietnam 2025. The event will take place from 12 to 14 March 2025 at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC) in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Vietnam's horticulture and floriculture sectors continue to thrive, with fruit and vegetable exports projected to exceed USD 7.2 billion in 2024, marking significant progress toward a USD 10 billion export target. The floriculture market is also flourishing, with projections valuing it at USD 3.426 billion by 2032. Key production regions, including Lam Dong Province (Dalat), Ho Chi Minh City, and Hanoi, play pivotal roles in this growth.

According to the AIPH International Statistics Flowers and Plants 2024, Vietnam's flower and ornamental plant cultivation spans 35,000 hectares, producing major crops such as chrysanthemums, roses, gladioli, and carnations.

HortEx Vietnam 2025 will feature extensive activities, including trade exhibitions, networking sessions, educational workshops, live demonstrations, and panel discussions such as "Grower Talks." The event will also host an Export Forum, technical seminars, and dedicated display areas like the International Premium Flower Showcase and the Post-Harvest Technology & Solutions Zone. These event components will help to foster collaboration and provide practical insights for industry professionals.

HortEx is jointly organised by VEAS (Vietnam) and Nova Exhibitions B.V. (Netherlands), with the strong backing of industry stakeholders such as the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Vietnam, the Vietnam Fruit & Vegetable Association (VINAFRUIT), and the Dalat Flower Association, among others.

Mr Viny Nguyen, General Director of VEAS, expressed his pride in this recognition: "We are immensely proud to receive AIPH's prestigious approval. This milestone underscores our commitment to excellence and reaffirms HortEx's role as a catalyst for innovation and growth within the horticultural industry. We aim to expand our international presence and make HortEx a must-attend event for professionals worldwide."
