According to a report delivered by the campaign’s steering committee, in 2021, nearly 93,000 communication events were held to popularise the campaign, attracting over 4 million participants.

Up to 600 trade promotion conferences and seminars, plus nearly 8,000 trade fairs, exhibitions were organised to bring Vietnamese goods to the rural areas.

Amidst the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses have actively and flexibly renovated their production and business methods, while applying science and technological advances to improve productivity and product quality in order to improve their competitiveness.

At the conference, the delegates shared experiences drew lessons from the implementation of the campaigns in each unit and each locality in order to work out initiatives and solutions to boost the campaign, particularly in the context of the fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) and the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

Addressing the event, VFF President Do Van Chien suggested that agencies, ministries, branches and member organisations should focus on digital transformation; strengthen inspections of the implementation of the campaign in each locality; and timely honour outstanding enterprises who have contributed to the deployment of the campaign.

He called on the Ministry of Industry and Trade to promote its advisory role in the connection of supply and demand in order to address farm produce congestion at border gates.

He also requested the campaign’s steering committee needs to promote communication events and strengthen coordination with functional agencies, ministries and sectors to bring the campaign closer to the public.
