Hanoi (VNA) – A forum on promoting digitalisation to support traceabilityof agricultural and food products was held in Hanoi on February 28, with thesupport of the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research(ACIAR) in Vietnam.

Nguyen Quoc Toan, Director of the Centre for DigitalTransformation and Agricultural Statistics under the Ministry of Agricultureand Rural Development, emphasized that traceability is one of the eight keyissues in digital transformation of the sector. Digitisation inagricultural product traceability requires the engagement and coordination ofall parties, from State management agencies to enterprises, cooperatives andfarmers.

State management in this issue aims to meet requirements ofinternational integration, improve transparency and accountability for thesector, and increase farmers’ interests.

According to Toan, Vietnam currently has around 19,000 cooperatives, 14,200 enterprises and 7,500 processingfacilities in the agricultural sector, along with about 9,400 supermarkets and markets, which constitutes the BigData part of the sector.

Therefore, traceability of agricultural products must be holisticand specific, he stressed.

Huynh Tan Dat, Deputy Director of the Plant ProtectionDepartment, said that the department has built a national database on plantingarea codes and export packing facilities.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has a product tracing system, which is connected with eight similar systems of eight cities and provinces, with the participation of 3,964 enterprises and 16,987 agricultural and food products./.
