Hanoi's Vietnamese Goods Week 2024 opens

The Vietnam Goods Week 2024 in Hanoi will take place four days in Tay Ho District, gathering 90 booths.

The 2024 Vietnamese Goods Week in Hanoi attracted over 90 booths from local businesses and producers, showcasing a variety of Vietnamese goods, including One Commune One Product (OCOP) products, industrial goods, handicrafts, safe and organic food, and others.

It aims to promote the "Vietnamese People Give Priority to Using Vietnamese Goods" campaign of the city's Department of Industry and Trade.

At the opening ceremony, Nguyen The Hiep, Deputy Director of the Hanoi Department of Industry and Trade, emphasized the importance of helping businesses overcome challenges, boost production, and stimulate consumer demand to drive economic growth. The department has planned 73 programs and events for 2024, with Vietnam Goods Week in Tay Ho as a key highlight.

In the first seven months of the year, the socio-economic situation in Hanoi and the whole country showed positive trends, with the city's industrial production increasing by 5.2% year-on-year. Hanoi's retail sales and consumer services revenue reached VND475.3 trillion (US$18.9 billion), up 10.3%, while export value reached US$10.4 billion, up 10.8%.

In order to help localities and enterprises that are struggling to sell agricultural products and Vietnamese goods, the Hanoi Department of Industry and Trade has facilitated enterprises and cooperatives from across the country to participate in Vietnamese Goods Week, he said.

He added that this initiative gives consumers more opportunities to access quality products.

"The department encourages cooperation among various agencies and localities to promote trade and connect with consumers. They also aim to raise awareness of the event among local residents and international visitors," he said.

Hiep urged businesses to ensure they are well prepared with quality products with clear origins, reasonable prices, and attractive promotions. He stressed the need to avoid counterfeit or substandard goods to protect consumers' rights and businesses' interests.

Looking ahead to the end of the year, he said the city plans to take decisive measures to further stimulate economic growth by improving the business environment and addressing challenges in the real estate market to boost production and investment.
