Hanoi (VNA) – More than 120 made-in-Vietnam products have been named in the short-list to run for the “most favourite award” 2016 selected by customers under a programme called “Vietnamese prioritise Vietnamese goods”.
The programme aims to promote high-quality products to customers and encourage enterprises to produce the best goods so as to establish a firm foothold right in the domestic market.
The products must satisfy certain criteria in terms of quality, origin and price and comply with the regulations on consumers and workers’ rights, environmental protection, food safety and legal competition.
The one-month voting programme, starting from November 15, will be conducted online. Customers can also vote directly at walking areas on November 19-20 and December 3-4.
Businesses can access to the official website of the programme at www.binhchonhangviet.com.vn for application forms and send their applications to the organisers by November 10.
The final result will be announced from December 25-30.-VNA
