(Baonghean.vn) - Orange growers and consumers in Nghe An are very interested in the issue of electronic stamps tracing the origin of Vinh oranges.

* Orange growers expect

The fact that the state agency organizes the electronic stamping of Vinh orange origin is very important. We, orange growers, support and have been waiting for this for a long time.

Because consumers are very concerned about food hygiene and safety, while in recent years it has been very difficult for consumers to choose to buy genuine orange products, many traders have taken advantage of customers' lack of knowledge, mixing oranges of unknown origin into the market.

Our orange growing area in Dong Thanh has over 25 hectares of concentrated planting, cared for according to safe processes, supplying the market with thousands of tons of oranges each year, the quality of which is highly appreciated by consumers.

However, we can only manage the farm, but when it comes to the market, it is completely under the control of the traders. Therefore, labeling the origin of the product is very important, no matter what kind of orange product it is. Labeling like that will increase the reputation of our products.

* This is a happy event

When we heard that Vinh oranges were labeled, our joy seemed to be multiplied. But we also wondered: If the labeling accidentally increased the price, would there be more labeled oranges on the market?

Vinh orange products have always been very popular with consumers. When oranges have stamps and labels, and their origin is clear, consumers can be completely assured and confident, without fear of being confused by counterfeit products.

Currently, many localities in Nghia Dan district are also converting to orange trees according to VietGap standards on a large scale. Therefore, the labeling will also urge each household to master the care techniques to improve fruit quality and practice clean production.

* Vinh orange dealers also need to have a scanner

Previously, Vinh oranges were produced in different localities with many different logos, making it difficult for consumers to distinguish, causing many people to buy fake Vinh oranges. Therefore, the Department of Science and Technology has announced the use of electronic stamps to trace the origin of Vinh oranges to ensure the rights of customers.

However, what we consumers care about most is that the stamp must be of good quality. The Department of Science and Technology and the Vinh Orange Association also need to arrange standard booths and agents for easy access by consumers. At the booths and agents, there must also be stamp scanners to gain customers' trust, because not all customers have stamp scanning software installed on their mobile phones.

Furthermore, the electronic stamp to trace the origin of Vinh oranges needs to have features that are easily recognizable to the naked eye so that consumers can distinguish more quickly.

* Need to strictly manage the granting of stamp affixing rights

Currently, the market is selling many fruits of unknown origin. Most stores sell oranges imported from other places, so consumers are very afraid that oranges are not safe for human health.

If Vinh orange products are labeled, have logos printed, and have clear addresses, consumers will be satisfied and start looking to buy more domestic products.

However, we are also very concerned about whether Vinh oranges with stamps will be counterfeited by some establishments or individuals?

Therefore, we also recommend that the authorities strictly manage the granting of stamps and strictly manage them to avoid some subjects taking advantage of counterfeiting, causing loss of consumer confidence and affecting orange growers.

* Regular monitoring of orange growing areas with stamps is required.

Vinh oranges have electronic labels, we consumers will be very excited, avoiding the situation of mixing poor quality oranges to sell to customers.

However, we consumers are still very concerned and hope that relevant authorities will continuously monitor orange farms.

Because somewhere there is still a situation where some orange farms do not grow and care properly, and do not use pesticides properly, leading to pesticide residues.

Besides, in many cases, the orange products may not have "problems", but the traders themselves soak them in chemicals to preserve the fruits to keep them fresh for a long time, causing preservative residues that do not ensure food safety and hygiene, affecting the health of consumers.
