The stores are expected to open before Tet 2016. According to Nguyen Tri Cong, chairman of the Dong Nai Livestock Association, this was the first step in a programme to build a safe food chain of the association.

In the coming years, the association would build a wholesale market for the distribution of VietGAHP pork and chicken, he said.
