Tuan Minh

In recent years, Hanoi has implemented many solutions to draw private investment in farm production, building a chain of production – consumption of safe agricultural food.

Hanoi has been actively developing the supply chain of safe agricultural products to control food safety, contributing to ensuring social security and consumers’ health.

Hanoi is now home to more than 10 million people who consume a large amount of essential goods such as rice, pork, beef, seafood, vegetables, fruits every day, while the growth rate of the agricultural sector in Hanoi has not met the demands.

According to statistics, on average, Hanoi’s residents every month consumes about 83,400 tons of rice, 20,000 tons of pork, 5,230 tons of beef, 5,200 tons of chicken meat, 5,050 tons of seafood, 84,100 tons of vegetables, about 95 million eggs and 52,000 tons of fruits. However, the city’s food production has not been commensurate with the demand.

In recent years, Hanoi has implemented many solutions to draw private investment in farm production, building a chain of production – consumption of safe agricultural food.

Up to now, the whole city has built 123 models of high-tech agricultural applications in the fields of cultivation, husbandry and aquaculture. 

Hanoi has also built 121 linking chains of food safety with traceable animal and plant origins. Besides, farm production facilities have diversified their offers. 

In order to meet the residents’ demand for safe agricultural products in the capital, Deputy Director of the Hanoi Department of Industry and Trade Tran Thi Phuong Lan said that currently, Hanoi city has actively promoted trade between Hanoi and other provinces and cities nationwide to enhance the supply for the capital.

In the time ahead, the Hanoi Department of Industry and Trade will continue to assist local people to sell their products to distribution channels and contribute to developing safe agricultural products. 

Besides, in order to attract enterprises to invest in high-tech agriculture, Hanoi has planned nine high-tech agricultural zones and a system of supporting economic zones in Hoai Duc district (300 ha), Ha Dong district (76 ha), areas along the Red river Me Linh district (105 ha), Dan Phuong district (33 ha), Phuc Tho district (200 ha), Soc Son district (70 ha), Ba Vi district (300 ha), and Son Tay town (80 ha).

Hanoi will also promote production chains, especially develop those applying with VietGAP, GlobalGAP and organic certification, standardize production processes to create high-quality products that meet criteria of food safety and export.
