At the sustainable durian industry development conference organized by the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment and the Dak Lak Provincial People's Committee on the afternoon of May 24, Ms. Ngo Tuong Vy, General Director of Chanh Thu Fruit Import-Export Joint Stock Company, explained the use of yellow coloring agents for durian.
According to Ms. Vy, the yellow color applied to durian before being exported is turmeric. Golden turmeric is not only used to beautify durian but also has antibacterial effects. If there is no turmeric stuck to the outside, the durian will be black and unsightly.
Therefore, when China requested inspection of the O Gold substance, the enterprise proactively inspected to use a safe preservative.
According to Ms. Vy, the preservatives for durian are very limited. She proposed that the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment and relevant ministries soon study durian preservation products. How to make preservatives safe, meeting export needs.
Acting Chairman of Dak Lak Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Thien Van also proposed the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment on preservatives. He hopes that the Ministry will soon pay attention and consider directing specialized agencies to research and issue mechanisms and policies to encourage organizations and individuals to produce, import raw materials, colorants, and cook all to preserve durian.
Minister of Agriculture and Environment Do Duc Duy said that the current market demand requires fresh, attractive, attractive but safe products.
To meet the above requirements, we must standardize the product. Standards start from the safe production process, to quality control and the processing, packaging and export stages.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment is doing the above and continuing to do better to make Vietnamese durian export convenient and sustainable.
