The Binh An catfish and Caminex shrimp export companies are reportedly to become the first Vietnamese seafood firms to apply a traceability system to oversee food safety.
The Mekong Delta-based companies, located in Can Tho and Ca Mau provinces, respectively, will operate the system for the next three months, reports Vietnam News.
The traceability system, which will use Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to track seafood exports, aims to ensure export purity and freshness.
The system is part of a pilot project carried out by IBM and FXA, a global provider of enterprise traceability solutions, in co-operation with the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP) and the Vietnamese State Agency for Technological Innovation (SATI).
