They have also been equipped with knowledge and legal regulations on the production and business of safe agricultural products and food; and guided with experience on production and business models and processes and linkages to produce and consume safe agricultural products and food.

Grapefruits of cooperative members are all grown in accordance with VietGAP standards, he said, adding that the fruit is also a provincial 3-star OCOP (one commune-one product) product, with a traceability stamp and contained in a box printed with full information, the address of the place of production. Therefore, this fruit is chosen by many customers, traders and clean agricultural product shops in big cities such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, when the harvest season comes.
