To ensure the supply, from the beginning of this year, the
provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has directed the
local Desks of Agriculture and Rural Development and Hoa Binh city’s economic
affairs desk to closely monitor the production situation, and weather and
disease developments so as to carry out the care, protection, and harvesting of
agricultural, forestry, and fishery products on time; proactively control and
prevent diseases in livestock and poultry; and maintain stable supply of
essential agricultural materials for production.
Based on the assessment of the production capacity of
localities, the department has estimated that Hoa Binh is able to supply many
types of agricultural products and food in the last months of 2024 and early
2025.
As for export, in the first nine months of this year, 17
local agricultural and forestry product exporters shipped a total output of
over 890,000 tonnes abroad, earning over 228 billion VND (nearly 9 million USD).
Bui Duy Linh, Deputy Director of the provincial Department
of Agriculture and Rural Development, said that to meet the needs of people and
serve the export demand, his office is carrying out measures to promote
production and consumption, including supporting localities, key production
areas, cooperatives, and businesses to find markets and partners; mobilizing and encouraging producers to participate in the production chains, teams, and
groups to turn out products with uniform types and quality; concertedly
building a brand identity system for agricultural products on direct and online
platforms; and promoting product traceability. Efforts will be made to attract
businesses to invest in processing and preservation technologies to increase
the value and ensure the quality of agricultural products, reduce market
pressure, and serve domestic consumption and export.
