Industrial products from rural areas earn ‘outstanding' label
The Ministry of Industry and Trade announced yesterday in Ha Noi that 100 industrial products from rural areas had earned an "outstanding" distinction this year.
Accordingly, there were 25 handicrafts products, 40 products from the agro-forestry and seafood sector, 25 products from the machines and spare parts sector and 10 products from various sectors.
The northern region had 39 products at the national level, the south had 31 and the Central Highlands had 30 products.
The vote for outstanding industrial products from rural areas was implemented at four levels. Criteria for the products were specific for each product group including the ability to meet with market demand, production development, economic and technical specifications, apart from society, environment and cultural needs.
The products which applied for the award should not have violated intellectual property rights, industrial ownership, and labour safety, in addition to food hygiene and environment protection. The products should also be able to produce in large quantities.
Speaking at the press meeting yesterday, Phan Van Ban, deputy director of Agency for Regional Industry Development, said the award aimed to choose outstanding products to support trade promotion, thereby promoting the rural industry.
The ceremony to honour the products would be held on October 17 with a live broadcast on VTV9.
