    Chinese vegetable GAP label
     
    Chinese imported fruits and vegetables are labeled with Chinese origin on the packaging, but after entering the wholesale market for agricultural products in Vietnam, a large number of vegetables such as cabbage, carrots, potatoes and fruits such as apples, grapes and pears will be repackaged and labeled with Vietnamese brands and VietGAP for distribution
    .
    Because fruits and vegetables don't look so different in appearance, it's hard for consumers to know where they really came from
    .
    Fruit
     
    Some vendors say that the wholesale price of Chinese cabbage is only 15,000 dong / kg (4.
    51 yuan / kg), while the price of Chinese cabbage produced in Dalat is twice that
    of Chinese cabbage.
    Now Dalat cabbage is still too tender, coupled with the impact of rain, the shelf life is only about 5 days, while Chinese cabbage can be put for half a month
    .
     
    In addition to the low price, Chinese cabbage is larger, the leaves are greener, and the appearance is more attractive
    .
    Wholesale market vendors say that only 3-4 out of 100 customers will buy dalat cabbage
    .
    Because the price is too high, I just buy 2-3 kg to eat by myself, usually selling Chinese cabbage
    .
     
    When selling fruits and vegetables imported from China, most sellers will advertise that the vegetables are from Dalat in Vietnam, while grapes, apples and other fruits are impersonated as products from
    the United States and Japan.
    With a change of origin, the price of imported fruits and vegetables from China can easily double
    .
     
    According to reports, Chinese fruits and vegetables are exported to Vietnam almost all year round, and only the Shoude Agricultural Products Wholesale Market (HCMC) in Ho Chi Minh City has about
    550 tons of arrivals every night.
    Chinese apples cost 35,000 VND/kg, US apples 75,000 VND/kg; Chinese pears 35,000 VND/kg, Korean pears 65,000 VND/kg; Chinese garlic 25,000 VND/kg, Vietnamese Ly Son Island garlic 300,000 VND/kg; Chinese potatoes 14,000 VND / kg, Dalat potatoes 28,000 VND / kg

    On September 22, Le Minh Hoan, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development of Vietnam, presided over a meeting
    on the quality management of aquatic products in agriculture and forestry products.
    Minister Rim Minh Hoa instructed to regulate agricultural products
    on the Vietnamese domestic market between now and the end of the year.
     
    At present, there are also flaws in the management of VietGAP certification in Vietnam, and even only 25 million dong (about 7521 yuan) can be easily applied for
    .
    Ruan Ruqiang, director of the Plantation Bureau, said that the VietGAP standard is used to measure the quality of vegetables, but after certification, it is managed
    by a third-party company.
    However, the link from production to consumption is still relatively loose in Vietnam, and it takes time and business support to do a good job
