Eurofins Sac Ky Hai Dang has collected reference samples for establishing DNA fingerprint of Vietnamese rice varieties
This activity is to protect Vietnamese rice varieties with geographical indications and genetic characteristics in the EU as well as to prevent fraud from exporters claiming that they are exporting these varieties but actually they are not.
Recently, Loc Troi Group has worked closely with Eurofins Sac Ky Hai Dang to carry out a project to establish DNA fingerprint of Vietnamese rice varieties for exporting to Europe under the Europe- Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA). This activity is aimed to protect Vietnamese rice varieties with geographical indications and genetic characteristics, avoid dispute and food fraud on the world market.

According to this project, Loc Troi Group will coordinate with Eurofins on collecting Vietnamese rice varieties that are being exported under the EVFTA and send them to Eurofins in Germany for establishing the DNA fingerprint of these varieties. This will be the basis for customs of importing countries to control the right type of goods, consider settling disputes, and contribute to protecting the copyright of owners of the varieties. This DNA fingerprint is also the basis for recognizing domestic plant varieties following the EVFTA Agreement and is the basis for handling disputes.
Since the EVFTA Agreement took effect in August 2020, Loc Troi Group is honored to be the first enterprise selected by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development to export fragrant rice to Europe under this Agreement. Up to now, after nearly one year of EVFTA coming into effect, Loc Troi Group is the largest rice exporter to Europe in Vietnam who owns 5 rice varieties that enjoy tax incentives under the EVFTA agreement.
Loc Troi Group has sent reference samples of 5 unique copy-righted rice varieties including: Loc Troi 28, Jasmine 85, OM 5451, OM18, OM4900, and VD20 rice variety to Europe for establishing DNA fingerprint through Eurofins. In addition, Eurofins also collected and sent reference samples of other varieties from the owner of ST24, ST25 of Ho Quang Tri company, RVT of Vinaseed, and Nang Thom Cho Dao, KDM of the Mekong Delta Rice Institute, Nang Hoa 9 of Mr. Le Hung Lan,...

With the foundation of profound knowledge in agriculture from a team of agricultural scientists and engineers and close relationships with agricultural science units, strategic partners such as Eurofins, Loc Troi Group will continue to coordinate with its partners on implementing projects to improve the quality and trademark of Vietnamese rice in particular and Vietnamese agricultural products in general on the international market.
