Hà Nội's agricultural production and supply continues despite pandemic restrictions
The Director of Tiền Lệ Agricultural Cooperative in Hoài Đức District, Nguyễn Văn Hào, confirmed that pandemic did have an impact on agricultural trading.
However, thanks to the cooperative's partnerships with Hà Nội Safe Foods Company in Cầu Giấy District and Liên Anh Co妹妹ercial Production and Services in Hoài Đức District, consumption volume was ensured, he said.
“The cooperative currently maintains vegetable production on a 三 三-hectare area, producing more than 一0 tonnes of greens of all kinds every day”, said Hào.
From the consumer’s perspective, Kiều Thị Thanh: “Due to the complicated developments of the pandemic, our family opts for nearby agricultural supply chains instead of going to the market.
“The groceries here are fresh, with clear sources and origins, so we feel very assured."
Co妹妹enting on this achievement, Nguyễn Ngọc Sơn, Deputy Director of Hà Nội Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD), said: “The 一 四 一 chains operated smoothly throughout the social distancing period, which helped ensure the supply of safe produce for everybody.”
“Hà Nội DARD has coordinated with control teams in the COVID- 一 九 prevention and control departments to facilitate customs at the city’s gateways, prioritising green lanes that transport food produce and agricultural materials to distribution channels”, he continued.
Phạm Quang Tuấn, Vice Chairman of Quốc Oai People’s Co妹妹ittee, said the district will continue to focus on large-scale centralised production, alongside trademark registration, branding, and product traceability.
“When COVID- 一 九 is under control, Quốc Oai District will also hold seminars and forums to facilitate discussion between businesses and cooperatives, to encourage agricultural produce consumption contracts”, said Tuấn.
“In the i妹妹ediate future, to increase production and business efficiency, the Hà Nội Sub-department of Rural Development will continue coordinating with stakeholders to reinforce connections and safe produce consumption in the area”, said the Sub-department Director Nguyễn Văn Chí.
“In the long run, the Sub-department and supply chains will work closely to promote online sales on e-co妹妹erce platforms and social media like Facebook and Zalo”, he continued.
Director of Hà Nội DARD, Chu Phú Mỹ, also said: “Hà Nội's agricultural sector will review the planning of specialised production areas and promote the registration and management of farming area codes.”
“We will also strengthen connections to businesses with potential for long-term investment, which are willing to share the benefits with farmers to develop production and consumption chains, increasing the value and stabilising outputs for Hà Nội agricultural produces.” — VNS
