On August 3, the leader of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Dak Lak province said that he had just conducted a surprise inspection and discovered that a number of durian businesses in the province had many violations.
Can't control durian code at the facility?
Accordingly, on July 19, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Dak Lak province established a team to inspect durian growing areas and packaging facilities (Team 716) in the province. The team conducted surprise inspections of organizations and individuals who are the owners of durian growing area codes and packaging codes that have been approved and issued codes by the General Administration of Customs of China...
During a surprise inspection of Uyen Diep Agricultural Cooperative in Hamlet 19-5 (Ea Yong Commune, Krong Pak District, Dak Lak), the delegation discovered that this organization had "mistakenly" attached 2 packaging codes to durian boxes being prepared to be put on containers for official export to China.
Specifically, Uyen Diep Agricultural Cooperative was granted packaging code number VN-DLPH-059 (Dak Lak), but at the time of inspection, the enterprise had not used it to pack goods for export to China.
Meanwhile, at this cooperative, there are 100 boxes (9kg/box) of fresh durian packaged with the growing area code VN-GLOR-0177 (Gia Lai province area code) and the packing facility code VN-SGPH-014 (code belonging to Hoc Mon district, Ho Chi Minh City).

Working with the inspection team, Mr. Nguyen Van Diet - Director of Uyen Diep Agricultural Cooperative - said that the Gia Lai growing area code and the Ho Chi Minh City packaging code mentioned above were self-adhesive by the owner, he was not involved. This cooperative only buys and sells fresh durian locally and then processes it to sell to the owners, the purchase and sale is not under contract.
Speaking to reporters over the phone, Mr. Diet confirmed that 100 boxes of durian exported from his facility had the growing area code and packaging code of another locality and business labeled.
He also admitted that up to now his business has not yet affixed the packaging code of the assigned unit because he has not yet requested a growing area code that matches his packaging facility.
Mr. Diet said that currently, official durian exporting enterprises in the area are facing many difficulties, because the output and import demand of partners are high, but the growing area codes and packaging facility codes are not enough to meet the demand.
According to him, about 500 durian warehouses in Dak Lak sell to many traders in many places, so the owners can't control the way they paste this code or that code.
Durian facility does not ensure food safety

During a surprise inspection of the business location of Dung Thai Son Import-Export Trading Joint Stock Company (located at km23, National Highway 26, Tan My village, Krong Pak district), Team 716 also discovered many violations.
At the time of inspection, Team 716 discovered that the facility did not meet food safety requirements, such as the production process not following the one-way principle from input materials to final products.
The inspected facility has a storage area and warehouse that does not have or does not have adequate shelves, signs, regulations, procedures, and hygiene regimes. The inspection team took a sample of durian products at the facility to send for quality analysis.
In addition, establishments are inspected for food production and trading without a business location registration certificate or a certificate of food safety eligibility issued by a competent authority.
Currently, violations of enterprises discovered through inspection, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Dak Lak province and relevant agencies are continuing to verify and handle.
