HCM City furniture fair fosters lucrative deals

Export contracts worth US$10 million were signed during the international exhibition of furniture and home accessories FIFA 2011, according to the Handicrafts and Wood Industry Association of HCM City (Hawa).

Hawa said the organisation board spent about $200,000, or 30 per cent of their outlay on the expo, on promoting the exhibition in the world media. More contracts would eventuate as many MOUs were signed.

VIFA 2011, co-hosted by Hawa and Hawa Corporation, was held from March 11-14 at the HCM City-based Sai Gon Convention and Exhibition Centre.
