Safe Agricultural Products Promotion Day

260 booths with nearly 1,000 types of products are being displayed and introduced at Lam Son Square, Thanh Hoa City.

The "Exhibition and introduction of safe agricultural and food products of Thanh Hoa province, 2024" took place from October 24 to 28.

The activity "Displaying and introducing safe agricultural and food products of Thanh Hoa province, 2024" attracted 216 units including enterprises, cooperatives, farm owners, and producers of safe agricultural and food products inside and outside the province to enthusiastically participate.

Three days before the "Conference on connecting supply - demand and displaying safe agricultural and food products of Thanh Hoa province in 2024", we were present at the agricultural production facility of Ngoc Hoan Production, Trading, Service and Transport Company Limited in Hai Linh Ward, Nghi Son Town to learn about the preparations for participating in the event. The business owner, Ms. Le Thi Ngoc, and her employees were arranging and packing goods waiting to be transported to Thanh Hoa City to participate in the exhibition and introduction.

This time, the company displayed a separate booth with many types of products produced at its own facility such as bottled fruit juice, bottled artichoke juice, Taiwanese mulberry wine, fruit wine, artichoke wine. Among its products, the company has 4 products that have recently been recognized as meeting OCOP standards, which need to be widely introduced and promoted to consumers.

Three days before the opening ceremony, Ngoc Hoan Production, Trading, Service and Transportation Company Limited in Nghi Son town had fully prepared goods for display and introduction.

By the morning of October 24, before the moment when provincial and central delegates pressed the button to open the "Exhibition and introduction of safe agricultural and food products of Thanh Hoa province, 2024", the booth of Ngoc Hoan Production, Trading, Service and Transportation Company Limited had been arranged and displayed on all shelves.

According to Director Le Thi Ngoc, the Company is well aware of the importance of this exhibition and product introduction, so it has been eagerly awaiting it for many days. Because there are 3 new OCOP products that have been recognized recently, it is necessary to introduce them to a large number of customers to expand the market.

The company's products are also quite unique, from actively growing raw materials to the processing system, all of which are carried out in Nghi Son. However, many people still think that the products are imported, such as Taiwanese artichoke and mulberry materials, so we take advantage of fairs and exhibitions like this to introduce them.

At Lam Son Square (Thanh Hoa City) over the past few days, the preparation work of the Organizing Committee, businesses, cooperatives, and goods owners inside and outside the province has gradually become bustling. Starting from the morning of October 24, goods, agricultural products, and safe food were displayed in rows stretching hundreds of meters.

According to information from the Organizing Committee, this year's conference connecting supply and demand with the display and introduction of safe agricultural and food products is the largest ever.

Canned and dried agricultural products and freshly harvested vegetables and fruits are also introduced and sold.

With the support and organization of Thanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee and related units of the province, the event attracted 216 units including enterprises, cooperatives, farm owners, production entities inside and outside the province to enthusiastically participate. The total number of 260 booths with nearly 1,000 types of products displayed and introduced this time is also the largest number ever.

Of which, 27 districts, towns and cities in the province have 49 booths; industry associations in the province have 14 booths; enterprises and cooperatives in the province have 124 booths and 73 booths of enterprises from other provinces and cities.

Many customers are interested and visit the booths to learn about the products.

The atmosphere of the fair and exhibition was bustling from the first hours and days. This is an opportunity for producers, businesses and localities inside and outside the province to exchange and promote their brands, agricultural products and safe food to consumers. Through this, businesses also have the opportunity to grasp and understand consumer tastes in order to have appropriate production and business strategies to meet the increasing demands of the market.

Macadamia products from Cat Van commune (Nhu Xuan).

Participating in this exhibition and introduction of safe agricultural products, Thanh Phat Macadamia Cooperative in Cat Van Commune, Nhu Xuan District continues to introduce familiar products such as dried macadamia, macadamia honey, macadamia oil, macadamia wine. New products such as Cat Van dried tea, oranges and fruits grown on local hills are also displayed by the Cooperative, hoping to expand the consumption market.

Many elderly people choose lotus heart tea products produced in Tho Xuan district.

These are locally produced products, certified to ensure food safety, and are being promoted.

Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Le Duc Giang and delegates visited the booth.

Director of CNC Rich Farm Agricultural Services and Trading Company Limited, Le Thi Van, said: “This year’s exhibition with thousands of products shows the richness of Thanh Hoa’s regional products. It also helps businesses like ours affirm the quality of their products because they must meet the criteria to be displayed.

Processed seafood products from coastal areas are introduced.

At Nga Son district booth, in addition to traditional products such as melons and handicrafts, the district introduced 3 products that the province has just submitted to the Central Government for recognition as meeting the national 5-star OCOP standards, including: Nga Son sedge vase, Nga Son sedge basket set and Nga Son sedge plate.

Within the framework of the introduction, Bim Son town - a unit not strong in agriculture, but also introduced to consumers many typical agricultural products. A typical example is the herbal chicken egg product of the Five-storey Farm Cooperative, Dong Son Ward. These are eggs from safe chicken farming models, the Cooperative produces its own feed, including ginseng and some home-grown herbs. The chickens are fed fermented feed, which is good for the digestive system, and are raised in semi-natural gardens and hills, so the quality of the eggs is different.

The success of previous product exhibitions and supply-demand connection conferences has created a buzz for this event. 62 businesses from 29 provinces and cities have shown interest and participated in the exhibition, which is proof of that.

From the far northern provinces such as Ha Giang, Lai Chau, Hoa Binh, Son La, Dien Bien, Yen Bai, Cao Bang, Tuyen Quang, Bac Kan, Thai Nguyen, Phu Tho, Bac Giang to the closer ones such as: Nam Dinh, Quang Nam, Bac Ninh, Ha Nam, Hanoi, Quang Ninh, Ninh Binh, Quang Tri, Vinh Phuc, Hai Phong, Thai Binh, Nghe An also participated with booths.

This time, many southern provinces such as Dak Lak, Ho Chi Minh City, Khanh Hoa, Binh Phuoc, Binh Thuan also brought their products for exchange. Many businesses from both sides will learn about and sign cooperation agreements to supply each other's products. This exchange contributed to the success of the provincial product introduction and display, but it has gone beyond local boundaries.

The stalls introducing culinary specialties of Thanh Hoa regions created a strong impression.

According to Director of Le Gia Food and Trade Service Company Limited (Hoang Hoa, Thanh Hoa) Le Ngoc Anh, the enterprise has shrimp paste and fish sauce products sold in dozens of domestic supermarkets, exported to many of the most demanding markets in the world such as Japan, the United States, Taiwan, Australia, and South Korea, but is still interested in participating in exhibitions and introductions of the province's agricultural products.

"Our mission is to introduce the indigenous resources of Thanh Hoa more and more widely. Because, behind us is solving seafood output, jobs and increasing income for thousands of fishermen. Thank you to the provincial leaders, sectors and localities for creating many conditions for businesses to participate in promotional activities, introduce products and expand markets in recent years," said Mr. Le Ngoc Anh.
