The provincial Department of Industry and Trade developed a two-way trade model to enhance market access for the products of the ethnic minority people in Kim Boi and Lac Son district. The initiative aims at expanding distribution network for local essential goods.
The provincial Department of Industry and Trade
in collaboration with the People’s Committee of Da Bac district organise a
trade fair to introduce products by ethnic minority people.
In Kim Boi district, Bui Van Tron's household was
selected to carry out the model. His family has received support regarding
display equipment, marketing materials, and connections to distribution
networks. He said the assistance is meaningful as it has helped agricultural
producers establish market channels and bridge supply-demand gaps, adding the
model enables ethnic minority communities to access quality products at stable
prices.
The Phu Luong agricultural and services
cooperative in Lac Son district also engaged in the programme.
According to Quach Tuan Phong, head of
district’s ethnic affairs bureau, while ethnic minority communities produce a
wide range of agricultural goods, their market access remains limited.
Therefore, finding markets for the products is crucial.
Beyond mere product distribution, the programme
has improved businesses, cooperatives, and business households’ knowledge and
skills on brand building and market connectivity, he said.
In Lac Thuy district, communes have been succeeded in promoting their One Commune-One Product (OCOP) products while others are still struggling to position their typical farming products in market. Some communes in the district still fail to have their products met OCOP programme’s requirements, while others have seen their certifications expired.
