Financial support for the cost of trade promotions

From September 1, all studies or surveys relating to the home market, distribution networks and traders will be totally financed by the state, announced the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

The government will spend more than VND50 billion on trade promotions in the domestic market, 70 percent will be for agricultural and handicraft exhibitions. The Ministry is planning to organise two exhibitions, one in the South in November and the other in the North in March next year respectively. An advertising campaign will also run through.

The Ministry is working with other ministries, agencies and associations to implement programmes to boost domestic commercial development from 2006-2011 with a view to 2015-2020. Most of the programmes will focus on setting up a distribution network for key products, trade developments in the rural areas and policies to upgrade the infrastructure.
