(HBO) – Chapters of all levels of the Hoa Binh farmers’ association have been taking practical activities to promote safe practices in the production, processing, and distribution of agricultural products. Currently, hundreds of products supplied by the members are on sale at reasonable prices across the association’s system of safe farm produce stores.
At the Muong Pa clean food store in Mai Chau
township.
In 2020, Song Da, the first safe farm produce store of the
association, was established in Hoa Binh city’s Quynh Lan ward.
Nguyen Thu Trang from the city’s Huu Nghi ward said the
store has helped alleviate her anxiety for food safety whenever preparing meals
for her family thanks to its products with traceable and trustworthy origins.
Currently, Hoa Binh province has five stores of this kind in
Hoa Binh city and the districts of Kim Boi, Mai Chau, and Luong Son. These
food-safety-certificated locations are frequently inspected by competent
agencies, with its businesses involved trained on safe practices regarding
production, trademark and geographical indication registration, packaging, and
origin tracing.
In the first nine months of this year, via the system, more
than 25 tonnes of oranges, veggies, fruits, and fishes, among others, were
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./.
