4/10/2018 - 10:29:40 AM

Vietnamese rambutans have been approved for export to New Zealand, which will be officially announced at a ceremony on April 10.

At the event, New Zealand's experience and innovative solutions will also be shared in order to help Vietnam improve the competitiveness of the sector.

Earlier, the good news was announced during the official visit to New Zealand by Deputy Prime Minister Vuong Dinh Hue on July 27, 2017.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Vietnamese rambutans have been exported to the US, Canada, the EU, Eastern Europe, several countries in Africa, China and a number of other countries in Southeast Asia.

Vietnamese rambutans are mainly grown in the southern provinces with an area of more than 50,000 hectares, providing roughly 300,000 tonnes of produce each year.

The export of Vietnamese rambutans to New Zealand will contribute to increasing the export turnover of this year and in the future. In 2017, the export value of fruit and vegetables reached over US$ 3.5 billion, up by 40%, while the export turnover in the first quarter of 2018 reached US$ 950 million, up 35.6% over the same period.

Rich and Flavorful Honey of Dao Village

Dao Village’s honey – a product certified with a 3-star OCOP (One Commune One Product) rating by Thong Nhat Agricultural Cooperative in Dao Village (Hoa Binh City) – is highly regarded by consumers for its quality, richness, and variety in packaging. The distinctively sweet taste of Dao Village’s honey leaves a lasting impression on anyone who has tried it.

Lac Thuy district prioritises resources for industrial, handicraft development

In alignment with Project No. 07-DA/TU, issued by the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee on November 1, 2021, Lac Thuy district has actively promoted investment and supported the sustainable development of its industrial and handicraft sectors during the 2021–2025 period. Alongside this, the district has remained committed to preserving and revitalising traditional craft villages.

Phu Thanh implements organic practices in tea production

Located in the northern part of Lac Thuy district, with a temperate climate and fertile soil, Phu Thanh commune has great potential and advantages in growing tea. The long-standing experience, combined with strict adherence to organic farming practices in the tea gardens, ensures that the dried tea products from Phu Thanh and Lac Thuy as a whole are sold out immediately upon production, providing a stable and prosperous life for the local people.

Hoa Binh works hard to accelerate progress of key projects

Amid efforts to streamline the administrative apparatus, Hoa Binh province has intensified measures to address challenges in land clearance, resettlement support, and infrastructure investment, aiming to speed up the progress of key projects.

Hoa Binh achieves record-breaking economic growth in Q1

Hoa Binh province has posted an unprecedented economic growth rate of 12.76% in the first quarter of 2025, marking its highest quarterly performance to date and positioning it as the second fastest-growing locality in the country, trailing only Bac Giang province.

Hoa Binh focuses on building strong OCOP brands for sustainable growth

Under current regulations, products in the One Commune – One Product (OCOP) programme that are rated three stars or higher must undergo re-evaluation every three months. However, in reality, some of these products fail to consistently meet the required standards, raising concerns about the sustainability of their OCOP certification. This underscores the urgent need for producers to enhance product quality and gradually develop their OCOP products into strong, marketable brands.
