In order to increase the supply chain of safe food in general and safe vegetables in particular to protect consumers’ health, the agro-forestry-fishery product quality management sub-department selected Tan Son commune of Mai Chau district to build a safe vegetable production and consumption model applying Vietnamese Good Agricultural Practices (VietGAP). 

Member households of the Tam Hoa Cooperative applythe VietGAP production process in vegetable cultivation.

Carried out since July 2018, the model is joined by the Tam Hoa agricultural service and development cooperative and ten vegetable-farming households. In order to effectively implement the model, many measures have been taken to upgrade and improve infrastructure facilities to meet VietGAP requirements for vegetable cultivation. A training course was organised for 20 local residents both members and non-members of the cooperative.

In order to ensure the efficient and sustainable development of the Tam Hoa agricultural service and development cooperative, the sub-department has supported the establishment of the VietGAP board to coordinate with the cooperative in developing a quality management system, which focuses on quality policy and objective, techniques for chayote, choysum, cabbage, spinach, and pumpkin farming.

The system also includes regulations on management and use of seeds, cultivation land, fertilizers, plant protection products; harvesting and processing; and handling violations in meeting VietGAP requirements.

The cooperative has signed contracts and memoranda of understandingfor supplying safe vegetable products with a number of safe vegetable trading establishments in Hanoi, Bac Ninh and Hung yen provinces./.
