The 2024 Connect Supply and Demand Conference between Ho Chi Minh City and other provinces and cities, themed “Connecting Responsibility – Towards a Green Supply Chain,” kicked off on the morning of September 26, 2024, in Ho Chi Minh City.
A new feature of this year’s event was the mid-term review of the effectiveness of the Program for Cooperation in Quality Control of Goods since its launch in March 2024.
The program helps orient the production of safe and sustainable food through market signals from retail systems with the voluntary, conscious, and proactive participation of stakeholders in the supply chain to meet domestic consumption and export demands to demanding markets.
According to Mr. Vo Van Hoan, Vice Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee, in 2023, the city’s leaders traveled across regions to promote socio-economic development cooperation with 38 provinces and cities.
This shows that Ho Chi Minh City’s development is always linked to the development of other localities. Among the city’s key tasks is building a supply chain from farming, harvesting, storage, processing, and production to consumption through supply and demand connection activities.
“In this cooperative chain, responsibility lies not only with the suppliers in ensuring product quality but also with retailers in guiding and supporting production, consumers in supervision, and the industry and trade and agriculture sectors in building a safe and sustainable supply chain,” said Mr. Hoan.
According to Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Truong Thanh Hoai, the supply and demand connection activities help enterprises find high-quality and reasonably priced goods nationwide to supplement the supply for stabilizing the market for the upcoming Lunar New Year holiday in 2025.
More than 2,000 businesses from over 45 provinces and cities nationwide gathered at the supply and demand connection conference, showcasing their products, services, and unique cuisine from the northern mountainous region, the Southeast region, the Mekong Delta, and more to Ho Chi Minh City consumers.
In addition, the organizers will conduct 19 live sessions led by 19 digital content creators. The “Super Live Vietnamese Goods” campaign on the e-commerce platform will promote over 200 products from more than 45 provinces and cities.
This year’s connection activities will not only focus on the encounter phase but also on the “post-connection” stage. The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Industry and Trade will focus on implementing solutions for the period “after connection.”
Accordingly, enterprises whose products are chosen by the distribution system will be supported to complete product and supply dossiers and resolve difficulties related to accounts receivable, delivery methods, payment, inventory, and more in the initial stage.
