Hanoi (VNA) – A list of 69 stores that sell food meeting safety control requirements was released to the public by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development at a press conference in Hanoi on May 5.

The move is part of the ministry’s programme “Dia chi xanh – Nong san sach” (Green outlets – Safe farm produce).

Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Vu Van Tam said it is the first step taken by the ministry to introduce safe farming products and reliable suppliers to consumers.

He hoped that the programme would raise consumer confidence on food safety and encourage safe food production and distribution.
