Dong Nai to open seven VietGAHP standard stores
The southern Dong Nai Province will open seven stores to sell pork and chicken, which meet the VietGAHP standard.
VietGAHP standard, or the Vietnamese Good Animal Husbandry Practices standard, is a range of principles that aims to improve products' quality and safety, to enhance the health of consumers and producers, protect the environment and support product traceability.
These stores, partnered by the Dong Nai Livestock Association and the Dong Hiep Livestock Service Co-operative, will be opened in Bien Hoa City, Trang Bom District and Thong Nhat District.
The stores are expected to open before Tet 2016.
According to Nguyen Tri Cong, chairman of the Dong Nai Livestock Association, this was the first step in a programme to build a safe food chain of the association.
In the coming years, the association would build a wholesale market for the distribution of VietGAHP pork and chicken, he said.
