HANOI: With a large population and a high number of visitors, Hanoi has a significant demand for food.
To ensure quality, Hanoi’s agricultural sector is actively controlling it through linked production chains and supply monitoring.
Currently, Hanoi produces only 55% to 60% of its food needs, with the rest supplied by provinces in the north and the Mekong Delta.
To enhance food safety control, Nguyen Thi Thu Hang, head of the Hanoi Sub-Department of Quality, Processing and Market Development, under the Hanoi Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, said that the city is maintaining and developing 159 linked production-consumption chains for safe agricultural products, including 53 animal chains and 106 plant product chains.
These chains have attracted many businesses, cooperatives and farming households, creating strong brands in the market and for export, such as Van Duc Safe Vegetable, Hoang Long Cooperative Meat, Chuong My Grapefruit, Dai Thanh Longan and Bao Minh Rice.
Additionally, Hanoi and 43 other provinces and cities have been actively maintaining and supporting the development of 926 safe-food supply chains for the city.
“To ensure the quality of foods from agriculture, forestry and fisheries, a directive has been sent to strengthen inspections, promptly detect and handle violations, and create a healthy business environment for establishments to develop and protecting consumer rights.” — Viet Nam News/ANN
