vn, which has thousands of agricultural product supply hubs
.

 

　　At that time, most of the southern provinces implemented social distancing in accordance with the No.
16 instruction, so goods trade activities were severely delayed
.
However, with the operation of this website, at the peak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, 300-400 tons of agricultural products were successfully sold every day, and more than 1,000 tons of agricultural products were sold during the peak period
.
Through the agricultural product hub, the working group cooperated with enterprises and cooperatives in the Jiulong River Delta and the southeast to supply goods according to the requirements of residents of Ho Chi Minh City and Binh Duong Province through combined orders
.
There are many different prices for each combination order, from 150,000 to 300,000 VND, and the price is even higher according to the requirements of the orderer
.
This is a new and creative way to help farmers and cooperatives understand the value of product links, packaging of goods, quotations, confirmation of orders and delivery of goods, and gradually shift their thinking from pure agricultural production to agricultural economy
.
Today, the number of registered supply and demand hubs is increasing, with closer contact and more professionalism, and narrowing the distance between sellers and buyers as quickly as possible according to demand
.

 

　　As an early participant in the registered agricultural product supply hub, Ruan Guoqiang, director of the Maison Agricultural Cooperative (Shoucheng County, Long An Province), shared: At the peak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, we still received many orders, the largest of which was to Dong Nai the next day The order delivered by a food company in the province is worth more than 100 million VND/order, and the order regularly provided to chain supermarkets in Ho Chi Minh City, Ben Tre, Tien Giang province and other provinces and cities is worth about 130 million VND/day

At the same time, in view of the recommendations made by the No.
970 working group to the local government, the circulation of freight vehicles is also smoother
.
Up to now, we have been in contact with many sales hubs through the website; at the same time, we can also find reputable suppliers of agricultural materials to provide services for production activities; set up multiple groups to share agricultural production and management experience

　　Promote the docking of global agricultural products

 

　　During the strong outbreak of the fourth wave of new crown pneumonia, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development cooperated with the Ministry of Industry and Trade and relevant ministries to carry out various trade promotion activities; supported agricultural material circulation and transportation enterprises, and arranged human resources to be carried out in accordance with the "three locales" Activities to avoid interruption of production and processing links during the implementation of social isolation
.
Recently, the agricultural sector has successively held various online conferences to promote and guide the implementation of new regulations on import and export in key markets such as the European Union, the United States, and China
.

 

　　As of the end of November 2021, the export value of agricultural, forestry and aquatic products is expected to reach nearly US$43.
5 billion, an increase of 14.
2% over the same period in 2020.
Among them, the export value of major agricultural products exceeds US$19.
3 billion, aquatic products exceed US$7.

The rise in prices of agricultural products is one of the reasons for the industry’s year-on-year growth in exports

　　In addition, companies make good use of the free trade agreements between Vietnam and other countries in the world to increase exports
.
In addition, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, these achievements have also come from the agricultural sector's initiative and flexibility to adapt to the situation of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, maintain production, and ensure sufficient domestic consumption and export supplies
.

 

　　In the future, the consumption and export activities of agricultural products are expected to face many challenges, among which direct trade activities are still very limited
.
Therefore, the application of digital transformation in the form of online transactions to promote export activities should be carried out more frequently, regularly and effectively
.

 

　　Chen Qingnan, deputy minister of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, said that at present, the agricultural product production and sales docking forum (No.
970 agricultural product docking forum) is held once a week
.
The establishment of this forum aims to form and connect the production, processing, harvesting, circulation and sales of agricultural products
.
In order to establish close and multi-dimensional contacts and cooperation between management institutions and enterprises and farmers
.
After each forum, the specific results will be summarized.
How many hubs, those goods, and how many goods will be docked?

 

　　In order to meet the demand for sales docking, in the future, the forum will not only connect agricultural products with domestic units, but also hold a global agricultural product docking forum to allow Vietnamese agricultural products to be more widely accessible to international consumers through Vietnam's world-renowned companies
.
Therefore, cooperatives, production units, enterprises and retailers must unite to improve the quality of Vietnamese agricultural products and promote their brands
