Israeli spacecraft Beresheet ("Genesis" or "Origin" in Hebrew) was successfully placed into the Lunar orbit, completing a manoeuvre needed for a flight to the Earth's only natural satellite, the mission team reported on Wednesday.

After gaining encouraging results from a pilot programme that allows consumers to check the origin of pork, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Industry and Trade recently announced a new plan to use information technology to control and trace the origin of poultry meat and eggs also.

Consumers in Ho Chi Minh City can now use a smartphone app to trace the origin of vegetables sold at Co.opmart, Lotte Mart, Big C and AEON supermarkets under a programme run by the city Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and the Digital Agriculture Association.
