The provincial Department of Industry and Trade developed a two-way trade model to enhance market access for the products of the ethnic minority people in Kim Boi and Lac Son district. The initiative aims at expanding distribution network for local essential goods.
The provincial Department of Industry and Trade
in collaboration with the People’s Committee of Da Bac district organise a
trade fair to introduce products by ethnic minority people.
In Kim Boi district, Bui Van Tron's household was
selected to carry out the model. His family has received support regarding
display equipment, marketing materials, and connections to distribution
networks. He said the assistance is meaningful as it has helped agricultural
producers establish market channels and bridge supply-demand gaps, adding the
model enables ethnic minority communities to access quality products at stable
prices.
The Phu Luong agricultural and services
cooperative in Lac Son district also engaged in the programme.
According to Quach Tuan Phong, head of
district’s ethnic affairs bureau, while ethnic minority communities produce a
wide range of agricultural goods, their market access remains limited.
Therefore, finding markets for the products is crucial.
Beyond mere product distribution, the programme
has improved businesses, cooperatives, and business households’ knowledge and
skills on brand building and market connectivity, he said.

Red grapefruit is a native crop of Tan Lac district, where the fertile soil and favourable climate create ideal conditions for its growth. With over 80% of the area being mountainous, at an altitude of 300-400 metres above sea level, red grapefruits here thrive on well-drained, fertile hillside soil. The region’s large temperature variation between day and night enhances the fruit's nutrient absorption. The local cultivation techniques also contribute to its uniqueness
