NINH THUẬN— The Grape and Apple Association of Ninh Thuận Province has begun placing a QR code on grape products which allows consumers to verify the origin and quality of local grape products.
Phạm Châu Hoành, head of the association, asked grape growers and processing and trading facilities to strictly comply with regulations on quality and to ensure food safety.
All the information of the products will be checked by agencies before being posted online.
