Potato brand to fight Chinese fakesLam Dong Province has approved a programme to build a Da Lat potato brand to prevent farmers from selling cheap Chinese potatoes disguised as potatoes from Da Lat, which are more expensive. Potatoes from Da Lat will have a new logo and brand that will make it more difficult for traders to sell cheaper Chinese potatoes under the Da Lat name. The packages will feature the logos of the Da Lat brand (the provincial brand for produce and products made in Da Lat), and will be designed in ways that make it difficult to imitate. During transportation, inspections and other procedures, the fake Da Lat potatoes are registered and referred to as Chinese potatoes. After the programme takes effect, individuals and organisations who package Chinese potatoes as Da Lat potatoes will be disciplined and charged with fraud.
