Descriptive research at agro-forestry-fishery food production and trading establishments in Tuyen Quang province shows that the main hazards are raw materials, environmental conditions, food safety management, etc. The number of certificated establishments accounts for only 22.9% of the total 821 establishments under the management sector.
The number of violating establishments accounts for a small proportion - 2.4% of the total number of 2922 establishments. A lot of seafood processing and preliminary processing establishments are small-scale, not concentrated, scattered and crept in residential areas, so the management is still inadequate. Resources to ensure food safety are limited and have not met the requirements. The province has 13 officials, the district level has only 1 officer in charge of food safety.
Control measures: Management of raw materials, production processes, raising the awareness of producers and traders, the management of the departments need to be strict and thorough, strengthen inspection, supervision activities and handle violations in food production and trading, etc. Food safety and hygiene; Tuyen Quang; Department of Keywords: Agriculture of Tuyen Quang province; Sub-department of quality management of Agro-Forestry and Fisheries products.

Research rationale Food is an indispensable source of nutrients in our lives. Food is abundant and varied, be it food, or water; There are even forms of drugs to replenish substances for the body. However, the big problem that people are facing today is dirty food, not ensuring hygiene and safety in terms of quality and safety in food processing.
Therefore, food safety is becoming a big and painful issue in society as more and more people get sick due to eating dirty and poor-quality food. Food is essential to life, hence food safety is a basic human right. Safe food contributes greatly to improving human health, quality of life, and quality of breeding. Food poisoning and diseases caused by poor quality food not only directly affect the health and life of each person but also cause great economic losses and are a burden of health care costs [1].
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), every year around the world about 1.3 billion people suffer from diarrhea; 3.2 million children die from diarrheal diseases and millions more suffer from repeated diarrhea, of which 70% are caused by unsafe food. More than a third of the population of the developed world is affected by foodborne illness, and the problem is increasingly serious in developing countries. Food safety not only directly affects health, but is also closely related to productivity, efficiency of economic development, trade, tourism, and social safety. Ensuring food safety makes an important contribution to promoting socioeconomic development, poverty eradication, and international integration.
Food hygiene and safety in the world in general and our country, in particular, are creating many worries for people. The continued use of banned chemicals in aquaculture, agro-aquatic, and food processing and the production of poor-quality products due to processing or pollution from the environment, etc. has adversely affected exports and consumption. Food poisoning cases in some collective kitchens, production, and processing facilities, and 2 continuous information about food insecurity in some countries around the world raise the worry of every citizen.
In Tuyen Quang province, there are a total of 110,640 agricultural, forestry, and aquatic food production and trading establishments. Regarding agricultural supplies, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has inspected and supervised 1,408 establishments producing and trading agricultural materials in the province. Through inspection, 95 violations were found (accounting for 6. Regarding agricultural, forestry, and aquatic food safety, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has coordinated with People's Committees of districts, cities, and related units to inspect and supervise 874 visits to agricultural, forestry, and aquatic food production and trading establishments.
Through inspection, 03 establishments were found to have violations, accounting for 0. Mainly with the main violations: the general sanitary conditions of the establishment are not guaranteed, and food production and processing are not up to standard. Thus, food safety and hygiene is a matter of great concern not only in the field of health but also in other economic and social fields. Food safety and hygiene is not only a problem of developing countries but also of developed countries with modern and advanced medical systems and medicine.
Finally, food safety is a global issue. To assess the food safety and hygiene status in Tuyen Quang province, I conducted the project: "Food Safety and hygiene survey in Tuyen Quang province". Overall objective Assessing the current situation of food hygiene and safety of agro-forestry- fishery food production and trading establishments and propose some solutions to improve the quality of food hygiene and safety inTuyen Quang province. Detail objectives - Assessing the current status of food hygiene and safety of agro-forestry- fishery food production and trading establishments in Tuyen Quang province 3 - Assessment of food safety hazards of agro-forestry-fishery food production and trading establishments in Tuyen Quang province - Proposing some solutions to improve the quality of food hygiene and safety in Tuyen Quang province 1.
Research questions and hypotheses 1. Research questions What issues affect food safety and hygiene? How do these issues affect food safety and hygiene? What possible solutions are there to control food safety hazards and improve food quality and safety in Tuyen Quang province? 1.2 Hypotheses questions Raw materials, environmental conditions, and management are the main causes of food safety and hygiene hazards. The management of unsanitary conditions and safety of agricultural, forestry and fishery food is still limited in Tuyen Quang province. Limitations There may be some possible limitations in this study.
The scope of research is only applicable in Tuyen Quang province, so it may only be useful in a certain area, has no significance in other areas and is not inclusive, because different areas will have different scales. The research results are based on data available in the reports of Tuyen Quang Department of Agriculture and Rural Development while the management agency consists of three departments: Department of Health, Department of Industry and Trade and Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, so it may be biased, affecting the research results and not fully generalizing the food safety and hygiene situation. If there are opportunities and conditions to conduct research, it will be very useful to bring solutions to consumers, businesses and state management.1 Some definitions of food safety 2. Food Food is a product that people eat and drink in fresh or preliminarily processed, processed, preserved form, food excluding cosmetics, tobacco, and substances used as pharmaceuticals.
They are usually derived from animals, plants, microorganisms, or preparations from these raw materials [2]. Food safety and hygiene Food safety is about avoiding food that has harmful effects on human health. This is also the understanding stated in Vietnam's Law on Food Safety in 2010: "Food safety is ensuring that food does not harm human health and life" [3]. Food contamination According to Clause 12, Article 2 of the Law on Food Safety 2010, food contamination is understood as the presence of agents that contaminate food, which is harmful to human health and life.
Food contamination is a severe public health problem around the world, resulting in food-borne diseases that affect human beings every year [4]. Food contamination can occur or result from any stage in the production and processing of food or its environmental effects on food. Hazardous agents that lead to unsafe food generally include microbial pathogens, parasites, mycotoxins, veterinary drug residues, and pesticide residues.
