Hanoi (VNA) - 𒐪Northern Vinh Phuc province has worked hard over time to ship its farm produce to economic hubs in Vietnam’s north, including the capital Hanoi.
The provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has organised and taken part in 20 agricultural events since 2016.

To raise the effectiveness of farm produce promotions and building local brands, Vinh Phuc’s agricultural sector will improve its market forecasting in the time to come and create the best conditions possible for businesses and scientific organisations to sign agreements on expanding the consumption of farm produce and exports./.
