| description | Objectives:
Consumer demand for safe food has been defining the development of value chains. Demand is
influenced by consumer knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP), governance and trust in the
value chain among other factors. The study aimed to evaluate consumers KAP about food safety in
selected pork value chains in Vietnam. Here we present KAP results being part of larger project on
food safety interventions in pork retail in Northern Vietnam.
Materials and Methods:
A food safety performance tool containing of three main pillars: safety, scalability and societal
concerns was used to assess food safety KAP, trust and governance of 188 consumers randomly
selected from different pork value chains (modern and traditional) in Hanoi, Hung Yen, Hoa Binh and
Nghe An provinces using key informant interviews.
Results:
Pork value chains are transitioning, with greater attention to consumer demands for safer products,
yet some consumer misconceptions about food safety were observed with only little concern given
to microbial contamination, the confirmed most important hazard from recent representative surveys.
Proper attitudes on foodborne illness and applying good hygiene practices in households were
obtained from interviewed participants. Whereas consumers overall have low trust in value chain
actors, including those important for food safety (i.e., farmers and input suppliers), and highly ranked
food safety responsibility of pig producers and government authorities. Trust was found higher in
rural versus urban areas. Among communication channels, higher trust was placed in television
news from the government while lower trust to social media.
Conclusions:
To be competitive, pork value chains should focus on product differentiation, such as signalling good
practices and organizing a shorter chain, including cooperatives model, with focus on product
traceability. Government could support this process by implementing targeted communication about
food safety to consumers and all chain actors. |
