On the afternoon of December 27, the Department of Industry and Trade of Thanh Hoa held a conference to deploy the trade development program in mountainous, remote and island areas in the province. This activity is part of the plan to implement the trade development program for the period 2021-2025 to promote socio-economic development in these areas, create a foundation for sustainable development and improve the quality of life of the people.
Overview of the Conference.
In recent years, localities in 11 mountainous districts and 6 coastal districts of Thanh Hoa province have mobilized many resources to invest in upgrading commercial infrastructure and transport infrastructure, thereby creating favorable conditions for connecting trade, distributing goods and promoting product consumption. Up to now, the districts have built a system of 178 markets, nearly 200 stores selling safe food and tens of thousands of stores selling essential goods. In particular, the province has developed 275 products meeting OCOP standards, thereby contributing to enhancing the brand value and competitiveness of local products.
In parallel, Thanh Hoa province has actively implemented trade promotion activities, connecting product supply and demand, organizing fairs, supporting programs to build Vietnamese point-of-sale models and encouraging businesses to digitally transform and apply e-commerce. These efforts have helped total retail sales of goods and service revenue in mountainous, remote and island areas to continuously grow year by year, contributing significantly to the overall development of the province.
Delegates attending the conference.
At the conference, delegates discussed and pointed out some remaining difficulties such as: the goods distribution chain system has not developed synchronously, many policies are not really suitable, so they have not attracted large enterprises to invest. Opinions also proposed many practical solutions, such as increasing capital support, improving preferential policies, building a modern logistics system, as well as promoting local specialty products.
Deputy Director of the Department of Industry and Trade, Phung Dinh Anh delivered the opening speech at the conference.
Thanh Hoa aims to increase total retail sales of goods and service revenue in these areas by 9-11% per year by 2025. At the same time, the province will focus on developing products with local brands, contributing to creating new momentum for the economy of mountainous, remote and island areas, contributing to the sustainable development of Thanh Hoa province in particular and the country in general.
