00:00:03.743 --> 00:00:10.063 
If in 2023 and 2024, Vietnam's durian
experiences a period of rapid growth, 

00:00:10.403 --> 00:00:14.623 
with turnover of 2.1 billion USD and
about 3.2 billion USD, respectively, 

00:00:15.103 --> 00:00:18.463 
the picture in early 2025
is completely reversed. 

00:00:19.043 --> 00:00:23.170 
In the first 4 months of 2025, the total
export value of this item 

00:00:23.170 --> 00:00:24.643 
only reached 183 million USD, 

00:00:25.123 --> 00:00:27.143 
down 60.9% over the same period. 

00:00:27.463 --> 00:00:31.063 
The decline of the fruit king is said
to have exposed the weaknesses 

00:00:31.063 --> 00:00:33.463 
of the industry has developed too hot in a short time. 

00:00:33.713 --> 00:00:40.471 
Not only a warning about food safety,
but this incident is also a harsh test 

00:00:40.471 --> 00:00:42.273 
of quality management capacity, 

00:00:43.073 --> 00:00:48.693 
the brand identity and sustainability of
Vietnam's key agricultural import-export activities. 

00:00:49.173 --> 00:00:53.368 
Firstly, we lack comprehensive control
of the main army, from input 

00:00:53.368 --> 00:00:54.893 
materials such as fertilizers, 

00:00:55.973 --> 00:01:00.503 
as they say, pesticides, go to the
farming process in the garden 

00:01:00.503 --> 00:01:02.013 
and treat after harvest. 

00:01:02.013 --> 00:01:07.399 
Second is production run by quantity,
the large expansion of area, run by 

00:01:07.399 --> 00:01:10.713 
productivity without properly focusing
on sustainable quality standards. 

00:01:11.473 --> 00:01:17.351 
Thirdly, we have lax management and use
of growing area codes 

00:01:17.351 --> 00:01:18.953 
and packaging facilities, 

00:01:19.593 --> 00:01:24.247 
leading to the situation where when a
shipment violates, an entire region, 

00:01:24.247 --> 00:01:26.573 
even an entire country, is affected. 

00:01:27.511 --> 00:01:30.804 
The main cause of Kadimi infection is
determined by specialized agencies and 

00:01:30.804 --> 00:01:34.371 
experts to be due to the accumulation of
heavy metals in the soil. 

00:01:34.851 --> 00:01:37.597 
However, according to the authorities,
the concept of using fertilizer with 

00:01:37.597 --> 00:01:41.091 
lion's origin that causes durian to be
infected with Kadimi is not completely accurate. 

00:01:41.531 --> 00:01:44.735 
In addition, the capacity of
laboratories is also one of the 

00:01:44.735 --> 00:01:46.191 
shortcomings of the durian industry. 

00:01:46.917 --> 00:01:51.357 
DAP is the main cause, but it does not
have a really close connection 

00:01:51.357 --> 00:01:55.717 
because we know that it is an area where
we also identify a higher risk 

00:01:55.717 --> 00:01:57.697 
That is the Mekong Delta area 

00:01:57.697 --> 00:02:03.317 
Then there is another thing that is, the
land is flooded and the water is drained 

00:02:03.317 --> 00:02:07.217 
is related to changes in pH
concentration in soil 

00:02:07.217 --> 00:02:11.357 
and this change in pH concentration will
be related to melting, 

00:02:11.777 --> 00:02:13.877 
cadimi at different times. 

00:02:13.877 --> 00:02:18.277 
It will be different and especially when
the water recedes, the pH will decrease 

00:02:18.277 --> 00:02:20.977 
and the possibility of dissolving
cadimi will be higher 

00:02:20.977 --> 00:02:24.057 
but it was right at a stage
where we were doing wrong 

00:02:24.057 --> 00:02:26.357 
the risk is higher. 

00:02:27.277 --> 00:02:33.337 
And the import and use data is the
DAP Korea 

00:02:33.337 --> 00:02:36.437 
in fact, it only accounts for about
4% of the total DAP 

00:02:36.437 --> 00:02:38.837 
that we are using in Vietnam. 

00:02:39.397 --> 00:02:41.937 
In addition, many types use export types. 

00:02:41.963 --> 00:02:50.599 
With the number of testing rooms we have
today, our current testing capacity is 

00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:57.383 
still 1,600 Cademy samples and also over
620 tael-of-one gold samples. 

00:02:57.383 --> 00:03:15.632 
With the number of testing rooms we have
today, our current testing capacity is 

00:03:15.632 --> 00:03:27.363 
still 1,600 Cademy samples and also over
620 samples. 

00:03:27.383 --> 00:03:31.543 
With the number of testing rooms we have
today, our current testing capacity 

00:03:31.543 --> 00:03:32.823 
is still 1,600 samples. 

00:03:33.112 --> 00:03:36.540 
Also at the Sustainable Development
Workshop of the durian industry, many 

00:03:36.540 --> 00:03:39.345 
businesses and associations made
recommendations and proposals to revive 

00:03:39.345 --> 00:03:40.592 
the value of durian, 

00:03:40.912 --> 00:03:44.052 
at the same time, towards the
sustainable development of this billion-dollar industry.
