Establishing a network of farm produce supply centers will help Hanoi enhance the distribution of such goods in the city, Vice Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee Nguyen Van Suu said at a workshop held on May 28.

Currently, the majority of agricultural products in Hanoi is distributed through wholesale and wet markets. The rest is sold in supermarkets, businesses, specialized stores and convenience stores, Suu added.
He noted that in face of Hanoi’s current farm produce distribution system, developing a network of modern agricultural supply centers is necessary to ensure food safety. Besides, the system will meet the requirements for higher quality products, traceability and facilitate the procurement of farm produce for export.
The network will also create a stable consumption channel for local agricultural products that meet domestic and international standards. Moreover, it will promote the development of safe food safety markets, improve quality and competitiveness of Vietnamese agricultural products, Suu stressed.
