Along with building linkage chains in the area, Hanoi has actively cooperated with 21 provinces and cities to build and develop 786 safe food supply chains, including 253 safe food supply chains. certified according to the criteria of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.

Increasing value, aiming for export

According to Director of Hanoi Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Chu Phu My, Hanoi has organized delegations of managers and production facilities, enterprises operating in the field of agriculture to provinces and cities to link production investment, transfer technical progress and bring agricultural products to Hanoi. The city has also built "Hanoi City Agriculture, Forestry, Fisheries and Food Traceability System" with the domain name www.check.hanoi.gov.vn. This traceability system has contributed to helping the management agencies control the activities of production and business establishments, ensure food safety when participating in the system; At the same time, it supports traceability, recall and handling of unsafe products.

However, the development of production and consumption chains in Hanoi still has some difficulties. Many agricultural products do not have labels or brands, and cannot be sold in large distribution channels. Some linkage chains in the area are incomplete and small-scale in the form of "buy and sell" so it is easy to break and break signed contracts.

In the period of 2021-2025, Hanoi aims to build and develop 50 linkage chains in agricultural production for key products of the city; 100% of participants in the chain link received training, technical training, and professional improvement; 100% of the chain of production and consumption of safe agricultural products and food applies information technology to trace the origin using QR codes.

Notably, the city will continue to review the planning of specialized and concentrated agricultural production areas; at the same time, promote the registration and management of production area codes to ensure export criteria. Hanoi will also synchronously apply scientific and technical advances, achievements of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 in production, preliminary processing, packaging, processing and consumption of products to increase the value of products.
