Tuyen Quang needs to clear bottlenecks to promote trade combined with mountain tourism.

Tuyen Quang has identified tourism development as a key economic sector with four specific products; at the same time, this is also an opportunity to develop mountainous trade and expand the output for typical regional products.

Ms. Pham Thi Hong - Director of Hong Phat Organic Agricultural Cooperative, Chiem Hoa district (Tuyen Quang), said: Being a mountainous province, transportation to remote districts and communes is still difficult, so the trade and circulation of goods of the people still have many obstacles. Although the products of the people in the Cooperatives and households are all products of indigenous culture, highly appreciated by the market, the goods are still not popular and dominating the domestic market.

Ms. Hong said that the Cooperatives really want to be supported in connecting trade, promoting products; developing raw material areas, investing in machinery, science and technology, and techniques to meet the increasingly strict requirements of the domestic and export markets. Therefore, it is necessary to have the support of local authorities and investors so that Tuyen Quang agricultural products can reach domestic and foreign consumers.
