In April alone, Ha sold nearly 900 gift sets.

According to Bui Tien Luc, head of the provincial Party Committee’s Commission for Mass Mobilisation, Chairman of the Hoa Binh Fatherland Front Committee and head of the steering committee, the campaign aims to raise public awareness of domestic production capacity and the quality of products of Vietnam and Hoa Binh in particular.

He said that in order to effectively implement the campaign, the province has called for the engagement of local businesses and residents in the work, while introducing traditional craft villages and typical products of the province, and strictly handling cases of piracy, counterfeit and poor quality commodities to win consumer confidence.

At the same time, the provincial Department of Industry and Trade has also carried out various activities to implement the campaign, including trade fairs and promotion, and supply-demand connection activities.

A survey showed that the rate of Vietnamese goods available in local shops, supermarkets and distribution channels has reached at least 80 percent, said Luc, who also stressed the need for more attention to bringing more local products to other localities and countries./.
