Facing serious impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic,
farmers have encountered numerous difficulties in selling their produce, which
has led to considerable economic losses. Given this, the Vietnam Farmers’ Union
Central Committee launched a programme boosting connectivity in the sale of
agricultural products in order to help farmers surmount the pandemic. In
response, the Standing Board of the Hoa Binh provincial Farmers’ Union has
taken steps to support members to sell their produce.
To carry out this programme, all-level farmers’
unions have focused on surveying the products whose sale needs promotion,
opening the sites for directly selling produce to consumers, boosting the sale
online, and equipping farmers with online sales skills via training courses.
They have also signed cooperation agreements on selling farm produce with
related parties, including the businesses managing such e-commerce platforms as
Postmart.vn and Voso.vn.
Nguyen Thi Huong Hai, Vice Chairwoman of the
provincial Farmers’ Union, said the union has stepped up communications on its
Facebook page and website to help introduce and sell local agricultural
products. Despite their limited number, the food and farm produce stores that
the union has helped to set up have brought into play their role in supplying
safe food for consumers. They have also served as the sites for gathering and
selling agricultural products from other localities.
Thanks to diverse activities supporting farmers,
over the past year, the Farmers’ Union of Hoa Binh province has helped sell
more than 120 tonnes of vegetables and fruit grown in Lac Son, Kim Boi, and Tan
Lac districts; tens of tonnes of organic orange from Cao Phong district; as
well as tens of tonnes of orange from Ha Giang province, lychee from Bac Giang
province, clean vegetables from Hanoi, and many other agricultural products
from Ninh Binh province. So far, the union has assisted the establishment of
four stores selling safe farm produce in Luong Son, Mai Chau, and Kim Boi
districts, and Hoa Binh city.
