The industry and trade department of Ha Nam Province launched a provincial e-commerce trading floor for local businesses on Thursday.

Dinh Van An, Director of the Ha Nam Department of Industry and Trade, said the trading floor at http://www.santhuongmaihanam.com.vn will provide information about businesses and their products to create favourable conditions for trading online.

This will encourage customers to shop online instead of at traditional stores.

At the same time, this site will be a bridge connecting manufacturers, distributors and customers in trading goods and services as well as local enterprises with their partners in other provinces and cities nationwide.

Speaking at the launching ceremony, Truong Quoc Huy, Vice Chairman of Ha Nam People's Committee, said to gain success in operating the site, the Department of Industry and Trade should co-ordinate with businesses to have enough product information and quality products joining the trading floor to maintain the reputation and brand of the companies. — VNS
