Food safety control process

Recently, the Ministry of Agriculture has issued a food safety control process for exported durian. This is a step forward to help synchronize from farmers to businesses, enhancing the reputation of the industry. However, to apply it effectively, it requires a team of qualified human resources and specific instructions for each locality.

Scientists also recommend developing a process for planting, caring for and managing pests and diseases for each region, because each region has different disease characteristics.

Human resources and quality control issues

One current concern is the role of inspectors. Many opinions say that it is necessary to clearly define standards to avoid negativity. If done well, they will not only control quality but also support growers in adjusting production. The Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association proposes adding rapid testing laboratories right at the growing areas to test soil, water, and fruit before export.

Tighten handling

The Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Public Security will coordinate to investigate and strictly handle cases of fraudulent cultivation area codes, falsified export documents or the use of banned substances. With the synchronous participation, the Vietnamese durian industry hopes to firmly consolidate its position in China and expand to high-end markets, aiming for sustainable exports.
