Thanks VINACAS Golden Cashew
People usually associate Quang Binh with storms, floods, the Lao wind, and intense heat, but thanks to VINACAS, Quang Binh has become a destination for brilliant foreign businesspeople and cashew industry entrepreneurs who come to see the sights for themselves. Magnificent scenery, kind and friendly local people, taking in the fresh spring air in Quang Binh, a quiet and peaceful place etc.
We appreciate the Vinacas’ outstanding planning of the VINACAS Golden Cashew Rendezvous, which allowed us to network and meet a number of important clients for both current and upcoming business. I hope for a prosperous year filled with plenty of rain and favourable weather. Our company will succeed and will support the next Hanoi event to make it even bigger.
Ms. Nguyen Thi My Ngoc – Director of Ngoc Chau Company Limited (Binh Phuoc)
Congratulation to the organizers of the 13th VINACAS Golden Cashew Rendezvous 2024 in Dong Hoi City, Quang Binh Province. The event was a huge success and the majority of our overseas clients were very happy. My company would surely continue supporting VINACAS at the next events. We are very grateful to the Organizers for spending so much time and energy planning the conference and making it elegant, stunning, exquisite, and flawless. We are looking forward to the Hanoi event in 2025 with great excitement.
Mr. Nguyen Minh Thuan – Representative of Agricas Global FZE (UAE) in Vietnam
My gratitude goes out to the organizers for a wonderfully well-executed event. Numerous sponsors and interested parties attended the event, including a few new ones. Once the VINACAS’s Finance Director got in touch with us, our company did not hesitate and confirmed right away, and we started reaping the rewards of our sponsorship of the event then. The host hotel met all 5-star standards and provided a welcome party, luncheon, gala dinner, and outstanding cuisine. My clients were ecstatic and satisfied.
Vegetarian food was a hit with the Indian guests at the gala dinner. The hotel has a fantastic beach, outdoor pool, and amenities, but it was cold in this season, so that I wouldn’t dare swim there. Our interaction with the Finance Director of VINACAS was excellent, and as a result, we got a positive impression of the management of Vinacas.
Ms. TRAN THI THU THUY – DIRECTOR OF SALLY COMMODITIES COMPANY LIMITED
I would like to congratulate VINACAS on a job well done with the event organizing. If I could, I’d rate the venue selection a 10 out of 10, and the organizational efforts an 8. The good news is that event has made business networking easier, brought people together, and offered a plethora of helpful information. The majority of speakers’ presentations concentrated on the marketplaces, seasons, and general cashew industry picture, which has assisted in identifying and illuminating a few true trends. However, the organizers must prioritize appointing translators who speak French and Vietnamese, have backup plans (secours), and upgrade the audio equipment.
H.E.Mr. Nguyen The Phiet – Honorary Consul of Cote d’Ivoire in HCMC.
