The figures were reported to the Prime Minister by the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment in a document signed by Minister Trinh Viet Hung on August 21.
By locality, Hanoi has more than 3,000 establishments and over 12,000 products on the traceability system. Of these, about 5 percent have provided all the information required to connect with the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment’s system.
Quang Ninh has synchronized data from 1,097 establishments, 2,689 products and 78 production batches, representing 100 percent of the data currently available on the province’s system.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment has deployed 40 servers for pilot implementation, launched a traceability platform for residents and another for management agencies, and established a technical connection with the National Product and Goods Traceability Portal managed and operated by the Ministry of Science and Technology.
The system has also finalized a plan to connect with the national platform being developed by the authorized agency under the Ministry of Public Security, with the connection to be implemented once the platform is officially launched.
In the coming period, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment will focus on completing a chain-based traceability system for durians, linking data on planting-area codes, packing facilities, testing, quarantine and export consignments. The ministry will then select key products for further expansion.
