Over the past ten years, the campaign received warm response from local people. The ratio of Vietnamese goods being favoured domestically has climbed rapidly year after year and has accounted the majority in many major distribution channels. Currently, 63 percent of consumers in urban and 57 percent in rural area gave priority to Vietnamese goods.
During ten years of implementation, the province organized 220 market-days to bring made-in-Vietnam goods for rural residents and workers at industrial parks across the province.
