Resumen
Descripción
The purpose of this study was to
assess the current state of existing traceability systems in
Vietnam’s fruit and vegetable (F&V) value chains,
examine pertinent policies and regulations, share
international good practices and explore their potential
applicability to Vietnam, and examine the current legal and
institutional framework governing agri-food traceability in
Vietnam and some major export markets (for example, the
European Union [EU], Italy, China, and the Republic of Korea
[Korea]). The study identified potential intervention areas
and made recommendations to policy makers and food business
operators (FBOs) in Vietnam regarding the implementation of
digital traceability systems and the regulatory
environmentthat facilitates their use. The interventions aim
to contribute to lowering the incidence levels of specific
hazards in perishable products in the F&V value chains,
increasing FBOs’ compliance, enhancing consumer
awareness of food safety, and strengthening the food safety
regulatory system. Additionally, the interventions would
contribute to re-establishing public confidence in the
quality and safety of Vietnamese agri-food as well as its
current food safety oversight regime.
