The festival, themed “Unlocking Value – Elevating Vietnamese Cashews,” aims to introduce and promote the Dong Nai cashew brand, stimulate consumer demand, and attract visitors to explore and experience cashew-based products.

A wide range of activities will be held during the festival, including a beautifully decorated booth competition, a culinary contest featuring cashew-based dishes, a seminar on sustainable development of Dong Nai City’s cashew industry for the 2026-2030 period, and business networking conferences connecting enterprises and trade partners.

Representatives of the Department of Agriculture and Environment also reported on issues related to preparation, such as funding, venue, logistics, security and order, anticipated guests, and promotional activities for the festival.

In his concluding remarks at the meeting, Vice Chairman of the city People’s Committee Nguyen Tuan Anh instructed the Department of Agriculture and Environment to lead the review of all conditions to ensure the festival is organized professionally, safely, and effectively. He stressed that the event must highlight the distinctive value of local cashew products while creating a strong impression to promote Dong Nai’s agricultural image to residents, tourists, and export businesses. The organizing board was also asked to focus on cultural and artistic activities to attract farmers and visitors to participate in the festival.

The Department of Agriculture and Environment was requested to submit a comprehensive report on all festival-related tasks next week.
