Trang Thi Xuan, member of the provincial Party Committee’s Standing Board and Permanent Vice Chairwoman of the provincial People's Committee, speaks at the opening ceremony.

She urged provincial departments and localities to continue applying scientific and technological advances in production and post-harvest preservation; support farmers in improving skills to meet VietGAP and GlobalGAP standards; and enhance market connectivity, brand building, and sustainable consumption.

She also called on the business community, distributors, and exporters to pay more attention to Yen Chau’s mangoes and other valuable agricultural products, supporting farmers in developing value chains and expanding markets.
