HANOI, Dec. 18 (Xinhua) -- Vietnam's Ministry of Agriculture and Environment will pilot an origin-tracing system for durian from January to June 2026, Vietnam News Agency reported Thursday.
The traceability system will cover all stages from production and procurement to preliminary processing, packaging, transportation and distribution.
Labels attached to each durian fruit or shipment can be scanned via QR codes or other appropriate means to trace relevant information.
Vietnam's durian export value reached 3.4 billion U.S. dollars in the first 11 months of this year, local daily Tien Phong reported, citing the Vietnam Fruits and Vegetables Association. ■
