According to the MARD’s National Agro-Forestry-Fisheries Quality Assurance Department, the 2016 ranking motivated many localities to improve their performance in the work.
The MARD’s monitoring system also showed improvement in management of the use of banned substances in husbandry.
In 2017, the number of qualified agro-forestry-fisheries production and trading facilities was also much higher than that in 2016, according to the ministry.
