According to information from the Department of Crop Production and Plant Protection, by the end of March 2024, the department had only issued 17 crop production area codes to organizations and individuals in the area.

The planting area code serves as a basis for specialized agencies and relevant units to monitor and manage production and control product quality. This code also plays a crucial role in tracing the origin of agricultural products.
Currently, through the agricultural database software, organizations and individuals can register online to quickly obtain a planting area code for their crop production sector. The issuance of the code is free of charge; organizations and individuals only need to meet the criteria regarding area size, food safety, and pest control.
Recognizing these advantages, the Department of Crop Production and Plant Protection has recently implemented the issuance and management of crop production area codes using online software. Simultaneously, it has focused on disseminating information, mobilizing support, and guiding organizations and individuals in need to fully comply with registration regulations. Inspection and monitoring of crop production areas that have been assigned codes have also received attention.
However, by the end of March 2024, the Department of Crop Production and Plant Protection had only issued 17 planting area codes for crops such as rice, peanuts, mung beans, dragon fruit, passion fruit, oranges, pomelos, An Xoa (a type of medicinal plant), and pepper, covering a total area of over 150 hectares.
The reasons include the fragmented and small-scale production of businesses and individuals; limited awareness of planting area codes and their benefits; and a lack of information technology knowledge and skills among many people, leading to difficulties in applying for codes.
Given the above situation, overcoming difficulties and obstacles, and encouraging organizations and individuals to complete the necessary procedures and register and obtain planting area codes as soon as possible is extremely important.
