(HBO) – The commercial infrastructure of Tan Lac district has been built in the direction of combining traditional markets and professional trading points, mini supermarkets and convenience stores with diverse operating models and payment methods. This has contributed to economic restructuring, changing consumption habits, and raising incomes for local people.

Nguyen Duc Nam, Deputy Director of the district’s economic and infrastructure department, said in recent years, Tan Lac has invested in the construction and renovation of its arterial roads, contributing to promoting trade and good exchanges with neighbouring districts. The district has been focusing on mobilising investment for upgrading and developing commercial infrastructure, creating favourable conditions in terms of administrative mechanisms and procedures for enterprises to invest in trade; and encouraging households on National Highway 6 and Highway 12B to trade and do business. In addition, the district has strengthened market inspection and management as well as fraud combat to prevent goods shortage and price fevers.

Currently, Tan Lac has 310 business households, two minimarts, and eight convenient stores, which use digital payment and online trade methods. Trade and service activities have contributed to raising incomes and creating jobs for locals, with stores and supermarkets meeting residents’ shopping demand.

In addition, the traditional wet market system has also been upgraded, helping boost retail and consumption development. The district is home to 11 wet markets opening daily for farmers to sell their goods.

Given the rise of COVID-19, Tan Lac has built its supply plan to ensure sufficient goods serving local consumers. In the first ten months of 2021, its total retail and service revenue hit over 1.65 trillion VND (71.63 million USD), fulfilling 81.7 percent of the yearly plan.

For further trade-service growth, the district will focus on building related infrastructure, expand the market, shopping centre and supermarket systems, creating favourable conditions for business and production activities, intensifying market and food safety management, and promoting trade, among other works./.
