HÀ NỘI — Up to 76 per cent of pork meat sold in traditional markets in Việt Nam are slaughtered in substandard abattoirs. According to the World Bank, although Việt Nam has spent much money and mobilised human resources to remedy the problems, policy and implementation are still a way apart. Việt Nam should improve infrastructure, such as markets and slaughter houses, to raise the quality of food hygiene and safety. He added that surveys and recommendations by international organisations are necessary in helping Viet Nam overcome food safety shortcomings. Đam said he appreciated the World Bank survey and recommendations.
