food safety standards according to Vietnamese Good Agricultural Practices
(VietGAP), having cooperatives or businesses organising production and sales of
products, ensuring packaging and traceability of products.

Ngo Van Tuan asked the local agricultural sector to push ahead with
restructuring and promoting local specialities in association with geographical
indications; organising communications and inspecting the implementation of
policies on capital and land; reforming and developing production models and
building concentrated material zones; improving processing, preserving,
packaging, and labelling capacity to increase the value of products; and
