The enterprises are NTEA Co. Vien Phu Green Farm Co and Vina Samex JSC. They will showcase organic farm produce such as rice, tea as well as food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

Hosted by the Thai Ministry of Commerce, ONE 2017 is the largest exhibition on organic and natural products in the region. It aims to improve the image of national and international certified products, add value and expand the market accordingly.

The forthcoming event, spreading over 10,000 sq.m, will host more than 200 exhibitors and showcase products from ASEAN countries. It is estimated that more than 45,000 visitors will attend the exposition, with the total sales value being 32 million THB (nearly 1 million USD).

Business matching platforms for national and international certified organic businesses, which allow buyers a great opportunity to find out potential partners and suppliers, will be held on the sidelines of the expo.

Typically, an organic symposium will also be included to give participants more insights into the organic sector, especially on the differences between organic and general products.
