Hanoi is currently piloting the creation of safe banana and papaya brands in two areas, using the traditional method of putting them in jars and then burning incense to ripen them. These fruits will be sealed with a designed band.
Besides bananas, Hanoi is also making a safe Hanoi tea brand, which is Huy Quy tea in Bac Son.
Currently, agricultural production in Hanoi only meets about 60%, of which only about 30% are safe vegetables.
The whole city has 58 stores and points of sale of safe vegetables that have been granted certificates of eligibility for business, with an average consumption of 50-120kg/store/day. In addition, there are 35 supermarkets that are selling safe vegetables, with an average consumption of 80-200kg/supermarket/day.
