Ten government will start adopting this year the national quality seal (NQS) for agricultural and fishery products to boost market access of quality and safe products produced in the country. The Bureau of Agriculture and Fisheries Product Standards (BAFPS) has been tasked to lead in the implementation of the national quality seal. The stamping of quality seals on agricultural produce was pioneered in ASEAN by Thailand that has successfully marketed their farm products through its "Q" mark.
