kilo.

pandemic, farmers growing citrus fruits in the province have been worried about
the selling of their products.

towns, due to the impacts of the pandemic, the market for the fruit has been
shrunken, while the transport of mandarin out of the province for selling has
met difficulties.
However, citrus fruit farmers in the locality have still been optimistic as the
sale volume and price have been stable thanks to consumers’ confidence in the
high quality of On Chau mandarin and other citrus fruits of Hoa Binh.
Farmers in the citrus fruit region of Hoa Binh have hopeed that On Chau
mandarin will bring a good start for a new harvest season. Consumers are
advised to take time to taste the specialty fruit of Hoa Binh as the On Chau
mandarin season lasts for a very short time of about only one month, or else
they will have to wait for another one year./.
