To boost agricultural
production linkages in value chains, the Hoa Binh provincial People’s Committee
issued Decision No.1340 dated June 5, 2018 approving a project to build and
develop food-safety value chains of key agricultural products in the 2018-2020
period, with a vision to 2025 in Hoa Binh province.
To date, agricultural
production in association with marketing and origin tracing has received more
and more attention. The province currently has 51 supply chains of safe food
and farm produce such as tea, orange, grapefruit, pork, chicken meat, goat
meat, honey and fish.
Stepping up linkages
in agricultural production has contributed to increasing the awareness, role
and responsibility of producers, ensuring market demand-supply, and protecting
consumers’ health.
However, there remain
several shortcomings, including small production scale, asynchronous
infrastructure, dependence on weather, instable market prices and cooperatives’
weak management capacity.
In the time to come,
localities are advised to pay attention to developing the processing industry,
concentrated material growing areas and marketing; and create an open mechanism
to encourage competent enterprises to apply high technology in production
towards cooperation and connectivity in value chains.
It is necessary to
develop farm economy, promote the development of collective economy, diversify
forms of production and distribution linkages, develop electronic origin
tracing systems, support production and business facilities in origin tracing,
and test quality before putting products to the market so as to sustainably
developing production and distribution chains./.
