In 2017-2019, the provincial People’s Committee approved a list of 31 projects linking chain production with a total funding of over 30 billion VND from the local rural area programme. Effective production-sale connection models could be named as Song Da fish, Lac Thuy and Lac Son chicken, Cao Phong orange, which are produced towards increasing quality and brand management.

Representatives from Vingroup introduced its Vineco and Vinmax systems and proposed some conditions to connect production and sales of products, which should meet the following basic criteria: meeting food safety standards according to Vietnamese Good Agricultural Practices (VietGAP), having cooperatives or businesses organising production and sales of products, ensuring packaging and traceability of products.

Vice Secretary of the provincial Party Committee Ngo Van Tuan asked the local agricultural sector to push ahead with restructuring and promoting local specialities in association with geographical indications; organising communications and inspecting the implementation of policies on capital and land; reforming and developing production models and building concentrated material zones; improving processing, preserving, packaging, and labelling capacity to increase the value of products; and improving business investment environment.

He suggested regularly organising trade promotion activities and introducing local special farm produce as well as developing agricultural value chains. Businesses must be committed to creating high-quality products, while relevant agencies and departments study to establish working groups to support sales of farm produce.

The official hoped Vingroup would provide technical assistance for the province and assist in producing, cultivating and trading products.

At the conference, Vingroup leaders along with representatives from local businesses and association of farmers signed a memorandum of understanding on cooperation./.
