In addition, management of wholesale markets in the city will be tightened while the role of inter-sector inspection teams in ensuring food safety in collective canteens, and street food will be enhanced.
Currently, Hanoi has 7.5 million people, 20 trade centres, 12 super markets, 460 traditional markets and 454 wet markets. Around 800 - 1,000 tonnes of meat, 340 - 400 tonnes of aquatic products, 2,500 tonnes of fruit and vegetable are consumed everyday.
However, local production can only meet 60 percent of food demand and 18 percent of fruit and vegetable demand. The rest is added by goods from other localities and imports.
Many suburban areas have been zoned off for producing safe vegetables for inner-city areas. However, the city remains shortcomings in management of safe food production, distribution and consumption.
According to the inspection results, pesticide residues have been found in 11 vegetable samples in 110 production facilities across the city.
