Challenges to safe vegetable production
Vov/Hanoitimes 09:16, 2014/03/19
Despite a huge demand for healthy clean produce, vegetables meeting Vietnamese Good Agricultural Practices (VietGap) standards are in short supply on the market.

Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Nguyen Thi Xuan Thu underlined the fact at a March 18 seminar in Hanoi, to discuss measures to improve the quality of products, ensure food safety and environmental protection and raise added value in plantation.

Thu said extensive application of VietGap in plantation is a key solution for the national agricultural development strategy.

Thu noted applying GAP poses a number of difficulties in market development, organisation and management due to small-scale and scattered production. In addition, some producers and investors do not strictly follow production regulations, adversely affecting consumption.
