HÀ NỘI — About 213 products and services of 150 businesses have been chosen among the favourite Vietnamese products in 2021 by customers, according to a recent vote.

The Hà Nội Steering Committee for the Campaign on Vietnamese people give priority to using Vietnamese goods announced the result of this programme at a press conference held in Hà Nội on Tuesday.

Those Vietnamese goods and services include electronics and technology; home appliances; industrial, agriculture, forestry and fishery products; and products in the "One Commune One Product" (OCCP) programme.

“The results of the programme in 2021 will be the driving force for local businesses to develop Vietnamese products. This result will also encourage businesses to continue to renew production,” said Nguyễn Lan Hương, Chairwoman of the Việt Nam Fatherland Front Committee in Hà Nội.

According to Hương, despite the great impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the online voting programme has still been strictly and transparently implemented, contributing to the recovery of economic development. With this programme organised by the Hà Nội Industry and Trade Department, the city continues to find Hà Nội's key product brands.

“The programme has attracted more participation and that means the programme has brought benefits to the businesses," Hương said.

The number of enterprises registering to participate in the programme increased by 6.5 per cent, and the number of products and services also surged by 43.4 per cent compared to 2020.

The organisation has also promoted the programme as well as products and services of the enterprises by opening an online exhibition together with the programme of voting for favourite Vietnamese products and services.

However, Nguyễn Anh Tuấn, standing vice chairman of the Việt Nam Fatherland Front in Hà Nội, said the number of participants is still not high. There is also no survey on the business results in the following years after voting for the selected products.

The favourite Vietnamese goods in 2021 will be honoured at a ceremony held on November 10 on Trịnh Công Sơn Street, Tây Hồ District, Hà Nội along with the opening ceremony of the Hà Nội Trade Promotion Programme 2021. VNS
