The five-year plan aims to boost economic value in craft villages in the cause of developing rural industries that are given large room for growth.
The city's plan will focus on five groups of actions namely completing policies on traditional trade and craft villages preservation and development; developing new occupations; training human resources; enhancing environmental protection and handling pollution; promoting trade promotion and brand building associated with the One Commune One Product (OCOP) Program.
Nguyen Van Chi, Permanent Deputy Chief of the Hanoi Office of New Rural Construction Program Coordination, said under the plan, the city will mostly focus on preserving traditional values of craft villages and craft village products; supporting the construction of galleries, craft museums, handicraft villages, and building trade promotion centers.
The preservation will be put on seven craft villages namely Ngo village (Phu Xuyen District) with mosaic painting, Ha Thai (Thuong Tin District) for its lacquerware, Phu Vinh village (Chuong My District) specializing in bamboo and rattan, Van Phuc with the silk weaving trade (Ha Dong District), and Bat Trang ceramics village (Gia Lam District).
The city will also encourage the application of advanced science and technology to production, vocational training, and training young workforce, especially in traditional villages on the verge of oblivion.
