Recently, the source of goods provided by farmers is in large quantities, and the daily production of passion fruit peels has increased, leading to the fact that the field inspection of using and processing lemon peels by partners has not reached 100%. Through research, some households, after receiving passion fruit peels, composted them incorrectly, affecting the environment. In this case, the unit has stopped supplying, and at the same time increased responsibility in managing by-product sources in production, to prevent similar cases from occurring that affect the environment – Mr. Nguyen Van Linh, Head of Department by-product management Quicornac Co., Ltd. affirmed.
