So far, the province has had over 7,000 hectares
of citrus fruits, which are able to produce over 15,000 tonnes of fruits per
year, along with other special farm produce. Through trade promotion
activities, the province hopes to have more channels to connect supply-demand
chains and promote its high-quality safe farm produce. Earlier, two local fruit
specialties namely Cao Phong oranges and Tan Lac red-flesh pomelos had been
supplied for the retail system of Saigon Co.op
Tran Quoc Viet, managing director at Saigon
Co.op in the north, said this creates good opportunities for the company to
expand its investment and involvement in production value chains in the
province. Cooperatives are still strategic partners to realise this target, he
said, adding that the involved parties should strengthen coordination to
increase the presence of local farm produce in Co-op supermarkets.
He suggested cooperatives improving the
packaging, storage and delivery of products to ensure its best taste.
Tran Van Thanh, chairman of the provincial
cooperatives union, said through the successful week, the union hopes the
provincial People’s Committee will pay more attention and create better
conditions for the union to promote local farm produce in big cities nationwide
as well as join trade fairs and connection conferences at home and abroad./.
