The Association of Foreign Investment Enterprises in Vietnam (VAFIE) and Samsung Vietnam organised a workshop on Vietnamese products and supply chain management from factories to supermarkets on July 31 in Hanoi.
The workshop aims to boost public confidence in Vietnamese products and link producers and distribution channels in response to the national campaign “Vietnamese people use Vietnamese goods” between 2014 and 2020.
VAFIE President Nguyen Mai said the event provided a platform for producers and supermarkets to meet and seek effective and efficient supply chains as well as establish win-win partnerships where high quality products are sold at reasonable prices.
According to President of the Hanoi Supermarket Association Vu Vinh Phu, Vietnam has about 700 supermarkets and shopping malls which require effective supply chain management and proper production planning based on market demands.
Middlemen should also be eliminated to offer better prices for the consumers, he added.
Attendees to the workshop agreed on the significance of the connection between producers and distributors. They urged supermarkets to be more active in seeking goods while producers should ensure quality control and build their brand names./.
