Unblocking agricultural products

In June 2021, Nghe An had its first Covid-19 infection case this year. In order to prevent the epidemic, many localities in the province have been forced to implement social distancing measures. At many times, while people in many places, especially in Vinh city, had difficulty ensuring their food and food needs, in production areas such as Quynh Luu, Thanh Chuong, Dien Chau, etc., agricultural products such as vegetables, tubers, fruits, seafood, etc. were stagnant.

In order to ensure stable consumption, avoid product backlog, maintain stable food supply for localities that have to implement lockdown to prevent the epidemic; control the quality of agricultural, forestry and fishery products supplied to the market, the Department of Agricultural, Forestry and Fishery Product Quality Management has developed Plan No. 2307, proposing solutions and scenarios for agricultural product consumption in the context of the Covid-19 epidemic. The target is that over 90% of agricultural, forestry and fishery products are consumed; 100% of supermarkets and clean food stores operate at maximum capacity to ensure sufficient supply of essential needs for people... In particular, 100% of supermarkets and food sales points in Vinh and localities at high risk of food safety loss are controlled for quality and food safety.

The unit has organized the connection of agricultural product supply sources in localities, supporting 10 convenience stores in Vinh city to increase the capacity to supply food sources for the city's people. At the same time, coordinate with localities to develop and implement plans for consuming agricultural products under social distancing conditions; review and count the amount of agricultural products in need of consumption support, thereby organizing with related sectors to connect consumption for farmers. In particular, the Department has coordinated and provided information on Nghe An agricultural products to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, the Department of Industry and Trade of Hanoi to connect the consumption of Nghe An agricultural products in the Hanoi market...

Currently, many agricultural products of Nghe An are preparing to enter the concentrated harvest period such as green vegetables and fruit trees; especially orange growing areas will enter the season from the end of October, with an output of over 60,000 tons.

“The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has sent an official dispatch to districts, towns and Vinh city to prepare a plan for the consumption of orange and tangerine products. We are currently synthesizing the consumption needs of localities, enterprises, cooperatives and production households to, on that basis, coordinate with e-commerce platforms to bring qualified products to the platform. At the same time, submit to the Provincial People's Committee a plan to implement activities under the conditions of Covid-19 epidemic management, such as organizing the Nghe An Agricultural Products Introduction Week in Hanoi, organizing the Central Agricultural Products Consumption Connection Forum in Nghe An...” - Mr. Nguyen Van Ha said./.
