Over the past year, the Department of Agricultural, Forestry and Fisheries Product Quality Management of Thai Nguyen province has certified 670 hectares of tea plantations in the area with VietGAP certification (520 hectares newly certified and 150 hectares renewed). In addition, the Department has also newly certified 75 hectares of fruit trees, 22 chicken farms, and 11 pig farms with VietGAP certification.

Currently, over 5,900 hectares of tea plantations in the province have been certified to meet VietGAP standards.

VietGAP (short for Vietnamese Good Agricultural Practices) is a standard or regulation on good agricultural production practices in Vietnam, issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development for each product group and each product in the fields of aquaculture, livestock, etc.

The issuance of VietGAP certification has helped to ensure better food safety by limiting the use of pesticides and harmful preservatives on crops and other agricultural products. At the same time, it contributes to environmental protection in the province, strengthens consumer confidence, and guides the agricultural sector towards sustainable development. In particular, VietGAP certification also facilitates the work of management agencies in performing their duties more effectively.
