Solutions devised to promote agricultural and aquatic products in South and Central Highlands

ABO/NDO – A video conference on connecting the consumption and promoting exports of agricultural and aquatic products in the South and Central Highlands opened on August 6.

The event, jointly held by the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, is taking place over 3 days, August 6, 9, and 10, and is one of the activities within the framework of the National Programme on Trade Promotion in 2021.

Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien speaks at the conference.

One of the most interesting contents at the conference is practical support solutions and activities among ministries, localities and businesses in the South and Central Highlands in order to promote domestic and foreign consumption flows for agricultural and aquatic products.

Speeches at the conference also proposed solutions to remove difficulties related to the consumption of agricultural products in the South and Central Highlands in the coming time, including promoting the development of the domestic market, identifying the domestic market as the focus and foundation for the development of consumption of agricultural, aquatic and seafood products.

In addition, more attention will be paid to building the consumption habit for Vietnamese goods in general, agricultural and aquatic products, and seafood in particular, thereby improving the reputation of domestically produced goods.

Priority should also be given to the agro-food processing industry to create products with high added value and strong brands, with domestic input materials, to reduce the load on the consumption of fresh agricultural products, helping serve both domestic and international markets.

Modern distribution channels such as e-commerce should be facilitated in addition to applying information technology and digital transformation in export activities.
