Moc Lan Vien brings about 20 types of tree seeds, vegetables and fruits to this year’s conference and expects to connect with more partners and receive many orders to increase revenue after seeing a decline of about 30 percent due to the HCMC’s long term social distancing.
Speaking at the location in Hanoi, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Do Thang Hai said that the annual supply-demand connection conference between HCMC and provinces has become a trading venue for supply chains and consumers.

Ten years after launch, the conference has established a favorable connected supply chain contributing to the market stability and ensuring the social security, especially during the complicated and unpredictable developments of the Covid-19 pandemic, she added.
