Mr. Trinh Tan Vinh, Director of Thuan Trinh Organic Coffee Company Limited (Lam Dong) said that there needs to be a solution to communicate to consumers to recognize products that ensure quality.

“Our company produces organic coffee with strict processes, but it is very difficult to find customers. Meanwhile, low-quality products are circulating a lot in the market. We should have a solution to communicate to consumers to recognize products with guaranteed quality,” Mr. Vinh shared.

Regarding the Green Tick of Responsibility, Mr. Le Van Vuong, Director of Vuong Thanh Cong Production & Trading Company Limited ( Dak Lak ) said that when participating in the program, what benefits do businesses get?

“The government and functional units need to improve quality control and inspection. There needs to be a mechanism to classify products for consumers to choose from. Avoid the situation where products of all kinds are present in the supply chains on the market,” Mr. Vuong shared.

Ms. Hoang Thi Thanh Huong, Director of Quality Management Division of WinCommerce Company (Ho Chi Minh City) proposed that localities need to plan specialized agricultural production areas and invest in high-tech agriculture.
