Counterfeit agricultural product production in Vietnam

Overview

Authorities in Vietnam have taken legal action against individuals involved in the production and sale of counterfeit agricultural products.

In Gia Lai, police prosecuted Trần Văn Chính, Chairman and Director of FARMING DANA Co., Ltd., for manufacturing counterfeit plant protection products without necessary certifications. Investigations indicate that in August 2024, the suspect allegedly used machinery and additives to package 1,500 bottles and 3,000 packets of counterfeit pesticides for distribution. The suspect is currently under a ban on leaving his place of residence.

In Ca Mau, police arrested Hua Van Chon for the large-scale production of counterfeit fertilizer. Chon allegedly operated through companies lacking technical qualifications, using low-quality raw materials and counterfeit packaging featuring reputable brand names to deceive farmers. Law enforcement seized over 5.3 tons of finished counterfeit fertilizer and approximately 81 tons of raw materials, noting that the operation generated billions of VND in illegal profits.
