It features about 100 booths selling safe agricultural products, such as seafood, fruit, vegetables, coffee and milk, with clear origin. They are produced by verified producers with quality control certificates or those applying VietGAP standards.
According to VTPCA Director Dao Van Ho, the centre will also coordinate with the National Agro-Forestry-Fisheries Quality Assurance Department to take samples of all products sold at the market for safety testing.
The move aims to provide visitors with knowledge on residues of pesticides, preservatives and other banned substances in foods.
