There will be special corners selling dishes made from crocodile meat as well as crocodile leather products, and A Ma Cong medicine. Top retailers like Coopmart and Satrafood together with the Vietnam High-Quality Products Club, Vina Vietgap and especially Dam Sen’s hydroponic vegetable garden will introduce visitors to a variety of clean and organic vegetables.
