growth, and adaptation to climate change, in combination with new-style rural
building.

formed a number of concentrated production zones, with 9,800 hectares of citrus
trees, accounting for 80 percent of total fruit area in Hoa Binh and 5 percent
the nation’s citrus tree area. Orange and pomelo are cultivated on 4,700 and
4,200 hectares, respectively. Particularly, the local trademarks of Cao Phong
orange, Lac Thuy orange, and Tan Lac red pomelo have been protected, with 10
percent granted with VietGap certificates. On an annual basis, Hoa Binh
produces more than 120,000 tonnes of citrus fruits and earns between 500 and
700 million VND per hectare on average.
Provincial leaders visit booths at the event.

products include Hoa Binh purple sugar cane, Hoa Binh "can” wine, Mai Chau brocade,
Luong Son organic vegetables, Tan Lac chayote, Son Thuy - Kim Boi longan, Da
