The programme featured nearly 100 products on display, including One Commune-
One Product (OCOP), VietGAP-certified agricultural products, medicinal herbs,
quality livestock, and other items from 11 local enterprises.
The event was expected to boost the linkage between consumption
and manufacturing units with products manufactured and managed by women in both
Hoa Binh and other localities.
Besides, the initiative also sought to promote agricultural products,
handicrafts, services, and tourism, among others, from Hoa Binh’s women to
provinces and cities nationwide, with the ultimate goal of exporting them
internationally, thereby creating employment opportunities for local women
union members, increase incomes, improve living standards, and promote genuine
gender equality across all sectors.
At
the event, the organisers presented commemorative flags to participating
consumer units and honoured 10 exemplary products. Several agreements for
cooperation were also signed among participating units.
