"In addition to local products, the store also exchanges products with some clean food stalls in Vinh City. This is how we make the stall more diverse" - Ms. Luong Thi Giang, a sales staff here said.

The store is the result of an idea implemented by the District Youth Union and the Youth Entrepreneurship Club of Tuong Duong District. According to Mr. Le Hong Thai - Secretary of the Tuong Duong District Youth Union: The purpose of launching the store is to introduce and promote local clean agricultural products, thereby promoting the agility and dynamism of youth union members.
