Specifically, from the beginning of the year until now, the Crop Production and Plant Protection Sub-Department under the Department of Agriculture and Environment has collected 234 durian samples for analysis of pesticide residues, heavy metals Cd and Pb, and pest identification (mealybugs). The results showed that 4 out of 78 samples were contaminated with lead, however, none exceeded the limit; 6 out of 78 growing areas were contaminated with cadmium, of which 1 sample exceeded the limit (0.074/0.05 mg/kg). The Sub-Department has issued a directive to the owners of the growing areas to investigate the cause of the contamination, implement remedial measures, and report back to the Crop Production and Plant Protection Sub-Department. The pest identification results also showed that 6 out of 78 samples were contaminated with pests.

The whole province has 53 codes for durian packaging facilities for export with a total factory area of ​​134,971 m2 ^.

Immediately after receiving the analysis results, the Sub-Department of Crop Production and Plant Protection issued a document to the growing areas contaminated with heavy metals and pests; simultaneously, it requested the strict implementation of measures to ensure compliance with the regulations of the importing country and Vietnam, continued dissemination of information to ensure that all participating households in the growing area understand and comply; strengthened strict control of fertilizers and pesticides used in the growing areas, ensuring they are on the list of permitted pesticides in Vietnam; application according to the "four correct principles" and ensuring the required waiting period before harvesting. Fertilizers containing cadmium and lead should not be used.

The monitoring of growing area codes is carried out seriously and strictly to ensure export standards.

Currently, the Department of Crop Production and Plant Protection is taking soil and water samples for analysis and evaluating the cultivation status to determine the main causes of growing areas with samples detecting Cd and Pb and guiding growing areas on remedial measures.
