officials of Hanoi and the provinces of Vinh Phuc, Bac Ninh, Hung Yen and Ha
Nam, along with representatives of the Central Retail Vietnam group, Big C
Thang Long supermarket, along with outstanding businesses, cooperatives and
farming households of Hoa Binh.
The fair features 22 booths of 18 businesses and
cooperatives from the province, showcasing a wide range of high-quality
products like Cao Phong oranges, Tan Lac red-flesh and green-skin pomelos,
Luong Son and Yen Thuy vegetables and fruits, shrimp and fish farmed on the Da
River, Lac Son chickens, and tea products.
In his opening speech, Chairman of the
provincial People’s Committee Bui Van Khanh said Hoa Binh pledges to create the
best possible conditions for businesses and investors to explore cooperation
opportunities and make long-term investment, especially in the production,
harvesting, processing, preservation, sale and export of agricultural products.
The province hopes that in the coming time, it
will receive more coordination from ministries, central agencies, the Hanoi
People’s Committee and Central Retail Vietnam to organise supply – demand
connecting activities to boost the sale of those products in the domestic
market and seek ways to export them, thereby helping to raise local farmers’
income and develop production.
Addressing the event, Deputy Minister of
Industry and Trade Do Thang Hai said the fair is part of a series of activities
helping to boost the sale of localities’ specialities launched by the Ministry
of Industry and Trade in 2018. It creates a chance for Hoa Binh to continue
introducing its unique and high-quality specialties to Hanoi’s consumers via
Big C Thang Long. It is also hoped to help the province distribute local
products via the network of Central Retail Vietnam, which currently owns 37
supermarkets nationwide, and the group’s retail system in other countries.
At the opening ceremony, Big C and Hoa Binh
signed memoranda of understanding on the sale of safe and high-quality citrus
fruits and agro-aquatic products. The Hoa Binh parties were the Lac Thuy
chicken farming cooperative (with Lac Thuy chickens that obtained the One
