Mr. Ho Hoang Tham, Director of Ba Xa Vegetarian Cuisine Company Limited (with a chain of 6 Ba Xa vegetarian restaurants), commented that vegetarians are getting younger and younger. Previously, the main customers were middle-aged and older people with high incomes, but now the largest group of customers is from 24 to 30 years old.

"In the near future, we will open a vegetarian restaurant system with prices ranging from 25,000 - 55,000 VND/meal in addition to the current system with a minimum price of 70,000 VND/meal to serve the majority of customers" - Mr. Tham said.

Ms. Ho Thanh Nhien, founder of O Plant-Based Food Joint Stock Company, which specializes in producing plant-based cakes, said that she brought to the festival a new cake line: natural carrot dumplings with mushroom filling. The product was very well received by consumers at the event.

According to Ms. Nhien, the vegetarian trend is "exploding" with huge demand. However, the vegetarian food industry is having to solve two problems: the products must be more delicious - suitable for consumers' taste and the price must be cheaper to suit their spending ability.
