Director of the Department of Industry and Trade Pham Van Hoa said that the state management of food safety is assigned and decentralized to 3 sectors: Health, Agriculture and Rural Development, Industry and Trade, and the People's Committees at district and commune levels.
Currently, the province has 48,552 food production, trading and processing establishments. During the period of 2021-2023 and the first 6 months of 2024, the province has established 3,287 inspection teams to inspect 40,573 establishments. Through inspections, 1,590 establishments were found to have violated the law with a total fine of more than VND 3,659 billion.
The main violations are failure to comply with legal regulations on food sample storage and three-step food inspection; Food business, display, and storage locations are infested with insects and harmful animals; Violation of legal regulations on food safety conditions...
Through inspection and examination, it is found that the number of establishments violating food safety regulations from 2021 to present has tended to decrease. From 2021 to present, the province has recorded 6 cases of food poisoning under the management of district and commune levels with 175 people infected, no deaths.
The Director of the Department of Industry and Trade also said that the situation of smuggling, trade fraud and counterfeit goods in Nghe An province has emerged as activities of illegal buying, selling and transporting of drugs, firecrackers, wild animals, livestock and poultry products, tobacco, consumer goods and the trading of counterfeit goods, banned goods and goods of unknown origin on the e-commerce system.
In the period of 2021 - 2023, the functional forces and related sectors organized inspections and administrative sanctions in 20,591 cases, prosecuted 1,050 cases, with a total fine value of more than 805,731 billion VND. In the first 6 months of 2024, 4,233 cases were inspected and administrative sanctions were imposed, 896/1,163 cases were prosecuted, with a total fine value of 115,706 billion VND.
Nowadays, counterfeit goods, poor quality goods, and goods of unknown origin are common in many market segments, from remote areas to street stalls and grocery stores in urban areas...
Smuggling, commercial fraud, and counterfeit goods in the e-commerce environment still occur and have the potential for complex developments. Tax management and the fight against state budget losses in e-commerce business activities are not effective.
Currently, the province has 371 active markets, including 7 class I markets, 20 class II markets, 240 class III markets, and 104 unclassified markets. The province has 154 permanent markets, 133 semi-permanent markets, and 84 markets with temporary facilities.
The market network in the province has developed in recent times. Market infrastructure has been gradually invested in and built with focus in line with the overall planning for commercial development of the province. The socialization of market investment has initially changed positively.
However, currently some markets are operating inefficiently or not very efficiently, the infrastructure is degraded, the water supply and drainage system, fire protection system, and environmental sanitation are still weak. There is no provincial wholesale market to organize links with large goods distribution centers of other provinces and cities in the country.
Approaching and transforming market business models is still slow, not meeting the requirements of digital transformation and people's needs. Investment resources for market system development are still limited, not meeting the requirements.
State management of the market system is still inadequate, some markets are not very effective. Inspection, examination and handling of violations of the law in market management are still limited.
