(HBO) – The Hoa Binh Department of Industry and Trade and Department of Transport had a working session with the People’s Committee of Hoa Binh city on July 28 to seek measures to ensure the supply of goods to residents in the city in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Currently, Hoa Binh city has 14 traditional markets, five supermarkets and three trade centres, along with 860 grocery shops. The city is home to three industrial parks with more than 5,000 workers.

They are requested to keep a close watch on the agricultural production situation and the pandemic developments as well as the weather conditions to make sure that the supply of major farm produce is available, while signing contracts on goods supply with suppliers – Dinh Nhuan and Son An companies - to meet people’s demands.
