More than 60 pavilions from 37 enterprises are showcasing 237 OCOP and seafood products from Quang Ninh province.
Vice Chairman of Quang Ninh Provincial People’s Committee Bui Van Khang said that besides its potential and advantages regarding mineral resources and tourism, Quang Ninh is also well known for its OCOP products and seafood items.
The province has 250km of coastline as well as over 21,000ha of hi-quality aquaculture with an average output of over 100 tonnes per year.
However, tourism activities, the consumption of OCOP products and export of seafood have all been heavily affected by the COVID-19 pandemic since early this year. Thus, it is hoped the weeklong event held in Hanoi will boost the consumption of agricultural products for farmers in Quang Ninh, helping them overcome their difficulties.
This is also an occasion for Hanoi consumers to enjoy specialties from Quang Ninh and for enterprises to promote their brands and the consumption of their products, Khang noted.
The event also includes seminars to connect enterprises and promote the consumption of Quang Ninh products with the participation of large distributors such as Central Retail Vietnam, MM Mega Market and Coopmart.
