Thai Nguyen: Managing 74 growing area codes
Since the beginning of the year, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Thai Nguyen province has newly issued 14 growing area codes to organizations and individuals. Thus, the province currently has 74 growing area codes (41 domestic consumption codes, 33 export codes) with a total area of nearly 1,000 hectares, focusing mainly on tea, rice and fruit trees.
The number of growing area codes issued has doubled compared to the same period last year. Organizations and individuals granted growing area codes continue to maintain and comply with regulations.
The growing area code is an identification code for a growing area to monitor and control the production situation, control product quality and trace the origin of crop products. The issuance of growing area codes has contributed to raising awareness and responsibility of producers in ensuring food hygiene and safety and consumer health.
