(HBO) – The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Hoa Binh and the National Agricultural Extension Centre (NAEC) on October 29 held a seminar on promoting sales of farm produce of the province in COVID-19 period.
At the event.
Despite difficulties triggered by COVID-19, agricultural
production of the province has remained stable since the start of this year.
Foodstuff like rice, meat and seafood meet
people’s demand and food supply has not been disrupted. Harvest time for
various agricultural products with large yield will arrive in the coming
months, while complex developments of COVID-19 may hinder sales of farm
produce.
The seminar was to realise the twin targets of
curbing COVID-19 and promoting socio-economic development. It also helped
firms, cooperatives and farmers promote their products, link with businesses,
supermarket chains and food shops in Hanoi and other localities nationwide, and
avoid a disruption of the supply chain due to the pandemic.
At the event, participants shared information on
potential, strengths and scale of cultivation areas and demand for sales, along
with cooperation and consumption market development between units and
households.
They discussed and gathered opinions on
solutions to remove bottlenecks in production and sales of farm produce in the
remaining time of the year.
Many underlined obstacles facing cooperatives
and groups in sales of farm produce, particularly amid COVID-19.
Representatives of production units hoped to
receive support for prompt and efficient sales of farm produce. They pledged
that all products are grown under VietGAP standard and some of them recognised
as the province’s OCOP goods. Participants also received guidance to put their
farm produce on sale at the Postmart.vn e-commerce market.
At the end of the seminar, leaders of the provincial
Department of Agriculture and Rural Development affirmed that the department
will create favourable conditions for firms and investors seek chances for
long-term cooperation.
In addition, it will support cooperatives and
units to better agricultural production processes, especially high technology
and organic ones, in a bid to improve quality and offer safe products to
consumers./.
Once a mountainous province facing many challenges, Hoa Binh has, after more than a decade of implementing the national target programme on new-style rural area development, emerged as a bright spot in Vietnam’s northern midland and mountainous region. In the first quarter of 2025, the province recorded positive results, paving the way for Hoa Binh to enter a phase of accelerated growth with a proactive and confident mindset.
Hoa Binh province is steadily advancing its agricultural sector through the adoption of high-tech solutions, seen as a sustainable path for long-term development.
The steering committee for key projects of Hoa Binh province convened on May 14 to assess the progress of major ongoing developments
A delegation of Hoa Binh province has attended the "Meet Korea 2025" event, recently held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Embassy of the Republic of Korea (RoK) in Vietnam, the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency, and the People's Committee of Hung Yen province.
Hoa Binh province joined Vietnam’s national "One Commune, One Product” (OCOP) programme in 2019, not simply as a mountainous region following central policy, but with a clear vision to revive the cultural and agricultural values in its villages and crops.
From just 16 certified products in its inaugural year to 158 by early 2025, the One Commune One Product (OCOP) programme in Hoa Binh province has followed a steady and strategic path. But beyond the numbers, it has reawakened local heritage, turning oranges, bamboo shoots, brocade, and herbal remedies into branded, market-ready goods - and, more profoundly, transformed how local communities value and present their own cultural identity.
