Hanoi (VNA) – Typical fruits of localities across Vietnam will be displayed at an exhibition space at 62 Trang Tien street in Hanoi from April 23-27.

Each displayed product will have a QR code which helps visitors easily access detailed relevant information, such as product origin, growing area, production and preservation processes, and official sales addresses.

This is a practical solution aimed at enhancing transparency in traceability, contributing to building consumer trust in high-quality Vietnamese goods, according to the event organiser - the Agency for Domestic Market Surveillance and Development under the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

The event is among activities marking the 50th anniversary of the liberation of the South and the national reunification (April 30, 1975 - 2025). It also aims to honour cultural, economic, and ecological values associated with Vietnam's specialty fruits, boost domestic consumption, and promote pride in Vietnamese agricultural products.

The exhibition space at 62 Trang Tien is known for its activities that highlight the differences between genuine and counterfeit goods./.
