Delegates attending the conference.

Comrade Cao Văn Cường, Provincial Party Committee member and Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, chaired the meeting.

The conference was attended by representatives from the leadership of departments, agencies, communes, and wards in the province, neighboring provinces, and a large number of businesses, cooperatives, and farms from within and outside the province.

The Deputy Director of the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Thanh Hoa province presented a report at the conference.

In 2025, the promotion and dissemination of information about the production, processing, and safe agricultural products and food in the province was given strong attention by all levels, sectors, organizations, and localities, in conjunction with the implementation of the political tasks of each unit.

Specifically, at the 2024 Conference on Connecting Supply and Demand for Safe Agricultural Products and Food, 20 businesses signed 10 contracts for the supply and consumption of agricultural products.

In 2025, the entire province established and maintained 87 safe food supply chains, thereby providing 669,407 tons of food for consumption, mainly serving the people in the province (including: 378,765.5 tons of rice; 138,419 tons of vegetables; 88,348 tons of livestock and poultry meat; and 63,875 tons of seafood).

Representatives from Le Gia Food & Trading Service Co., Ltd., located in Hoang Thanh commune and currently owning two 5-star OCOP products, presented their views at the conference.

Safe food supply chains have helped to effectively control each stage and the entire process of creating quality, safe food products; create close links between establishments participating in the production chain, increasing the efficiency and responsibility of each establishment in ensuring product quality and food safety; and develop cooperatives, partnerships, and farms linked to preliminary processing, processing, trading, and distribution channels.

In addition, the province has approximately 600 businesses, cooperatives, and establishments producing, processing, and trading agricultural products, food, and OCOP products that are maintaining promotion, introduction, and sales on e-commerce platforms such as voso.vn, posmart.vn, Lazada, Shopee, Tiki, etc., with thousands of products of various types.

Representatives from VinaGreen Investment and Development Joint Stock Company, Trieu Son commune, presented their views at the conference.

At the conference, delegates reviewed the overall results of agricultural and food production, consumption, and supply-demand connections in the province in 2025; and also exchanged, discussed, and shared experiences in distributing safe agricultural and food products in the market.

In addition, some opinions have proposed solutions to develop production, consumption, and promote the connection between supply and demand for agricultural products and food in the future.

Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Cao Van Cuong delivered a concluding speech at the conference.

Concluding the conference, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Cao Van Cuong pointed out that currently only about 30% of agricultural and food products in the province are distributed through a value chain linking production and consumption system. The rest are mainly distributed to consumers through traditional markets, small shops, and food and agricultural product businesses. Producers are still passive in production, lack market information, and are not closely linked with businesses in the value chain, leading to the situation of "bumper harvest, falling prices"...

According to the Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, this conference specifically assessed the results of production, consumption, and supply-demand connection of agricultural products and food in the province in 2025; exchanged, discussed, and resolved difficulties, existing problems, and obstacles; and proposed tasks and solutions to develop production, consumption, and promote supply-demand connection of agricultural products and food in 2026.

The comrade stated that the opinions and discussions of the delegates at the conference were a valuable source of information for the leaders of Thanh Hoa province and other provinces and cities in developing agricultural development plans for the coming period. At the same time, it helped businesses and cooperatives operating in the agricultural sector to have a clear direction and plan for production and business to ensure maximum efficiency.

Through the conference, businesses have the opportunity to sign joint venture and cooperation agreements in the production and trading of agricultural products, improving production and business efficiency, and contributing to building the province's agricultural sector into a high-value-added commodity production sector, contributing to socio-economic development.

To further build upon achievements, overcome existing shortcomings and limitations, and contribute to promoting agricultural production along the value chain, connecting production facilities with consumption centers inside and outside the province, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Cao Van Cuong requested that departments, localities, and production and business establishments in the province effectively implement policies and guidelines on agricultural development, farmers, and rural areas, in conjunction with the successful implementation of the Resolution of the 20th Congress of the Thanh Hoa Provincial Party Committee, term 2025-2030, with the motto "Unity - Discipline - Responsibility - Creativity - Development".
