(HBO) – Hoa Binh has launched a number of small trade fairs that sells made-in-Vietnam goods in local remote areas, leaving good impression in every area where the fair was held. Many people have flocked to such fairs in excitement to purchase a variety of high-quality products in diverse designs.

A trade fair brings
made-in-Vietnam goods to the remote Tu Ne commune, Tan Lac district, attracting
a large number of visitors.
Bui Thi Ngat from Bai Trang village, Dong Lai commune, said the
fair offers a wide range of products that suit everybody’s need, including
cookware, ceramic bowls and plates, bedding, electronic appliances, clothing
and footwear. All the products are made in Vietnam so there is no need to be
worried about cheap and low-quality goods. They are sold at very reasonable
prices, for example, a rechargeable lamp is sold at 39,000 VND while its market
price is over 40,000 VND; plastic baskets and basins here are sold at 10,000
VND for all items.
The series of trade fairs began on August 10 with each lasting for
3 days. The province has organised five trade fairs since then with the last in
Dung Phong commune, Cao Phong district. The event in Phong Phu commune, Tan Lac
district was held when a storm came to the area, but it still saw a lot of
visitors. According to companies selling their goods at the trade fairs, this
year’s events generated revenue of 1.5 – 2 times higher than those of 2016 and
2017 as made-in-Vietnam products have won increasing trust and credibility from
local customers.
Chu Van Thang, deputy director of the provincial centre for
promotion of trade, investment and tourism, said the quality of each event has
been much improved after every year and as a result, it has been well-received
by local people. Companies participating in those events have been carefully
selected, and must be reputable producers in Vietnam./.
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.
The inspectorate agency of Hoa Binh province has issued Official Dispatch No. 1090/TTr-PCTN to provincial departments, agencies, localities, business associations, enterprises, and investors regarding measures to improve informal component indexes of the Provincial Competitiveness Index (PCI).
Hoa Binh is taking concrete steps to improve its investment environment, with a strong focus on supporting businesses, settling obstacles for strategic investors, and creating opportunities for robust development in the coming years.
