They do not have many new export orders so they are seeking partners to develop the domestic market and stabilise production, the Hà Nội Mới (new Hà Nội) newspaper reported.
Speaking at the workshop, Vũ Thị Hậu, chairwoman of the Vietnam Retailers Association, said the association will organise meetings between its members who are supermarkets and chain stores in Hà Nội and nationwide and manufacturers of OCOP products to promote consumption. When retailers have direct contact with manufacturers, intermediary costs are reduced and consumers also benefit.
According to Director of Hà Nội-based BigC Thăng Long Supermarket Khúc Tiến Hà, the BigC Supermarket has about 五0 OCOP products from localities, including many agricultural and regional specialties. However, this is a small number among the thousands of goods sold at the supermarket.
The OCOP products, including agricultural and food products, face difficulties in entering the supermarket because the suppliers lack documents on product quality. The supermarket expects to meet the manufacturers to promote cooperation in production and consumption of products, Hà said.
