(HBO) – Hoa Binh province has entered the harvest season of some key agricultural products. In order to ensure quick consumption of agricultural products, ensuring output, quality and price, the agriculture and rural development sector is making efforts to support and create favorable conditions for local farmers and traders to participate in the consumption of agricultural products in accordance with the requirements of COVID-19 prevention and control.
Leaders of the provincial Farmers' Union and Kim Boi District
Farmers' Union conduct a field survey in Son Thuy longan area, Xuan Thuy
commune, to help households sell products.
In Dong Tam commune (Lac Thuy district), custard apple entered the harvest
season two weeks ago. At the beginning of the season, custard apple was sold
for 60,000 VND per kg, however, by the end of July, the pressure from the
pandemic has caused the purchasing power to decrease, hence led to a reduction
in price. The custard apple's price now is around 25,000 VND per kg and could
only be consumed locally.
To address the situation, the People's Committee of Lac Thuy district has
issued three guiding documents on the transportation of essential goods in
order to create favorable conditions for local people and small businesses
while ensuring compliance with epidemic prevention and control regulations.
Hoang Dinh Chinh, deputy head of the district's Division of Agriculture and
Rural Development, said the whole district has 25 ha of custard apple which is
in the harvesting period, with an output of 250 tonnes. It is necessary to
urgently implement appropriate solutions to promote consumption so that the
fruit's quality is not affected.
Bui Duc Bien, Vice Chairman of the provincial Farmers' Union, said the union
continued to monitor the actual situation in a number of localities to promptly
support farmers with the sale of agricultural products.
The provincial People's Committee has just issued Decision No. 1536/QD-UBND
approving solutions and plans for the consumption of agricultural products
during the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, the province focuses on supporting
the harvest and consumption of agricultural products including longan, bananas,
vegetables, citrus fruits, and animal products and aquatic products.
Besides, Hoa Binh province is increasing exchange and working
activities with major partners in order to promote the consumption of
agricultural products, while organising promotional activities and programme
and effectively stepping up advertisements on a number of websites and
e-commerce platforms./.
