“We almost did not make a profit because of pests and the fertilizer price increase,” Phong said. Tiếp tục đọc “Farm produce falls in price, farmers incur losses” →

Việt Nam is the third largest shrimp producer and the largest giant tiger prawn producer in the world. Shrimp is a major export item, but it lacks brand value. Đào Đức Huấn explains why.

Vietnamese shrimp products have been exported to 90 markets worldwide. Recent years have seen high growth in shrimp exports. Does Vietnamese shrimp have brand identification in the world market?

In 2016, Việt Nam earned US$3.1 billion from shrimp exports, overtaking Thailand as the world’s largest shrimp exporter. Major shrimp export markets included the US, the EU and Japan. Tiếp tục đọc “VN shrimp brand: difficult, but not too late” →

Các nhà nghiên cứu gần đây đã phát hiện rằng một loại bắp ngô biến đổi gen nhằm chịu được thuốc diệt cỏ glyphosate (được cho là có nguy cơ gây ung thư cao) có sự khác biệt đáng kể về phân tử so với loại bắp ngô truyền thống.

Phương pháp đánh giá ‘Tương đồng Cơ bản’

Năm 1993, Tổ chức OECD đưa ra một báo cáo có tên “Đánh giá an toàn của thực phẩm có nguồn gốc công nghệ sinh học hiện đại”, trong đó thuật ngữ ‘Tương đồng Cơ bản’ lần đầu được sử dụng để đánh giá thực phẩm biến đổi gen.
