Vice
Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Dinh Cong Su delivers the closing
remarks at the meeting.
Participants in the October 6 meeting discussed
measures for tackling obstacles to farm produce production and sale from now to
the end of the year, including boosting production under value chains, strictly
controlling the production and circulation of agricultural and food products in
Hoa Binh, ensuring food safety, and avoiding disruptions to supply chains.
In his closing remarks, Vice Chairman of the
provincial People’s Committee Dinh Cong Su said in the time ahead, enterprises,
cooperatives, producers and farmer households need to work closely with
departments, sectors, and localities to update information about quality
products in order to meet consumer demand and introduce those products to
consumers in other localities nationwide. They should also hold frequent events
to instruct producers and traders how to use information technology and sell
farm produce on e-commerce platforms.
He asked departments, sectors, and localities in
Hoa Binh to fulfill their duties with a focus on keeping production chains uninterrupted,
ensuring sufficient supply to meet demand for farm produce in and outside the
province as well as materials for export processing in the year-end months,
connect material production zones with processing and preservation
establishments to raise agricultural products’ value, build high-tech farming
models, and provide production unit codes for plant and animal farming
establishments.
Besides, they need to prioritise COVID-19
vaccination for personnel who farm, harvest, and process agricultural products;
carry out support policies to help farmers and producers resume production in
the localities subject to social distancing; increase trade promotion, business
matching, and assistance for farmers, enterprises, and cooperatives to sell
agricultural products via e-commerce platforms; instruct businesses in applying
anti-pandemic measures; and create the best possible conditions for the
transportation of input materials for agricultural production, according to the
official.
