Persistent

Just walk around any neighborhood in the inner city or suburbs of Ho Chi Minh City, if anyone want to have the statistics of the coffee selling points today can count.

The coffee market has enough he boasted the coffee brands in and outside the country. Among them are Central Highlands, Phuc Long, Starbucks, The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, Gloria Jean Coffee, Milano and a number of other names.

However, the market also countless other selling points grow like mushrooms after the rain with all kinds of names and no name ... Which is coffee beverage, coffee toad, coffee football, which is "internet" coffee, coffee "Bring", "bring home", coffee "motorcycle" ... serving in public places such as schools, hospitals, construction. Who knows where the origin of these coffee shops.

There have been too many discoveries and warnings about the production and sale of dirt and fake coffee. This coffee is made with no coffee beans but from corn. Soybeans, caramelized cassia seeds, mixed with caramelized caramelized frosting lines, sweeteners, quinoa, carboxymethyylcellulose (CMC). Many diseases are dangerous for consumers. This "coffee" is very cheap, even half the price of real coffee.

More than three years ago, the Ministry of Health issued a circular "regulating food safety conditions for food service businesses and street food businesses", stating that food ingredients, Food additives and pre-packaged foods must have clear invoices and vouchers proving their origin and origins, and food additives on the list of permitted food additives promulgated by the Ministry of Health. " But concerns about additives are still there.

In Ho Chi Minh City, market regulators are trying to eliminate the distribution lines of chemicals, aromatic additives unknown and not allowed to use for production and processing of coffee. However, the subject here is also located in the seller. Just a few sets of tables and chairs, a pair of umbrellas, a kettle of boiling water, some coffee beans, and three cups of coffee can be a café. That coffee shop can bring income to a small family. Many sellers are not interested in the source of the coffee they sell to the consumer, as long as it is cheap.

It is said that the market is in need of serious research from the coffee industry to know how much each year consumes coffee in Vietnam, thereby assuming the volume of coffee produced and circulated. This is the cause of the damage caused by coffee to the economy and the health sector later.

As long as the coffee industry has not quantified how much coffee consumption, the long war with dirty coffee is still just beginning.
