The recommendation was made after several markets, including Long Bien wholesale market, and many supermarkets and convenience stores were temporarily closed due to Covid-19 locations. This has partially affected the farm produce supply for the city.

Long Bien Market is being locked down due to Covid-19 infections

Under the proposal sent to the municipal Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, the city should use Yen Nghia Station in Ha Dong District, a stadium in Thanh Tri District, a stadium in Hoai Duc District and several others in Gia Lam District as goods transhipment centres.

The department has also suggested using the Ministry of Agriculture and Development’s Trade Promotion Centre in Cau Giay District for this purpose.

According to the department, districts in Hanoi need to conduct Covid-19 vaccination for agriculture staff.

The Hanoi Department of Transport has been asked to create favourable conditions for vehicles transporting agricultural products to enter the city.
