In 2017-2019, the provincial People’s Committee
approved a list of 31 projects linking chain production with a total funding of
over 30 billion VND from the local rural area programme. Effective
production-sale connection models could be named as Song
Da fish, Lac Thuy and Lac Son chicken, Cao Phong orange, which are
produced towards increasing quality and brand management.
Representatives from Vingroup introduced its
Vineco and Vinmax systems and proposed some conditions to connect production
and sales of products, which should meet the following basic criteria: meeting
food safety standards according to Vietnamese Good Agricultural Practices
(VietGAP), having cooperatives or businesses organising production and sales of
products, ensuring packaging and traceability of products.
Vice Secretary of the provincial Party Committee
Ngo Van Tuan asked the local agricultural sector to push ahead with
restructuring and promoting local specialities in association with geographical
indications; organising communications and inspecting the implementation of
policies on capital and land; reforming and developing production models and
building concentrated material zones; improving processing, preserving,
packaging, and labelling capacity to increase the value of products; and
improving business investment environment.
He suggested regularly organising trade
promotion activities and introducing local special farm produce as well as
developing agricultural value chains. Businesses must be committed to creating
high-quality products, while relevant agencies and departments study to
establish working groups to support sales of farm produce.
The official hoped Vingroup would provide
technical assistance for the province and assist in producing, cultivating and
trading products.
At the conference, Vingroup leaders along with
representatives from local businesses and association of farmers signed a
memorandum of understanding on cooperation./.
