Pilot models for safe agricultural production and trading under the Vietnam Good Agricultural Practice (VietGAP)/Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) in eight provinces and cities will be applied across the country.
A workshop was held in Ho Chi Minh City on September 5 to review and popularise the production models, funded by the Vietnam National Agro-Forestry-Fisheries Quality Assurance Department and the Canadian International Development Agency.
After six years of implementation, all 13 pilot fruit and vegetable production establishments, 11 pig farms and nine out of 14 poultry breeding units have been granted the VietGAP certificate. All six abattoirs and five meat selling establishments meet VietGAP standards.
Additionally, the Canada-funded Food and Agricultural Products Quality Development and Control Project has built a food safety control system for vegetable growing areas in the Central Highland province of Lam Dong and pork and poultry breeding areas in Dong Nai province to reduce input costs and earn a higher profit.
