In 2020, Song Da, the first safe farm produce store of the
association, was established in Hoa Binh city’s Quynh Lan ward.

store has helped alleviate her anxiety for food safety whenever preparing meals
for her family thanks to its products with traceable and trustworthy origins.

production, trademark and geographical indication registration, packaging, and
origin tracing.

distributed.
Hoang Duc Bien, vice president of the association, said the
system has brought about "double" benefits to both customers and
producers as it serves as a bridge to bring safe farm produce to consumers.
He noted that this distribution channel has made a
consideraable contribution to forming the mindset of using and consuming
products of clear origin, high quality, which encourages producers to focus on
quality improvement serving their better competitiveness and protection of
public health.
To operate more safe food stores, the association has planned
to increase its communications campaigns to spread legal knowledge on the
matter; promote the operation of a farmer support centre; diversify products on
sale; and boost sci-tech application for higher quality./.
