(HBO) – After the chayote of Tan Lac district obtained a collective mark in September 2016, local red pomelo was honoured with the recognition in December 2017. This year, the district has worked to help Nam Son tangerine earn the title.
After the Tan Lac red pomelo received the collective mark,
communications and education campaigns have been enhanced to raise public
awareness of pomelo cultivation.
In
2017, the Tan Lac red pomelo production and trading cooperative received support
in machinery and labelling to build the brand of the fruit.
Though the Tan Lac chayote got a collective mark several years
ago, the vegetable remains unknown in many markets, resulting in unstable
prices. At several times, the Tan Lac chayote even sheltered behind that planted
in Tam Dao district of Vinh Phuc province.
However, with the district’s efforts and cooperation with
authorised agencies of the province, the Tan Lac chayote has gradually gained a
foothold in the market. The establishment of the Quyet Thang cooperative in
Quyet Chien commune, which gathers farmers to grow chayote in a safe process, has
served as a proof.
Local farmers were provided with scientific and technical methods
to cultivate and take care of chayote under VietGAP standards and joined the
farm produce chain.
In addition, the chayote is packaged with origin-tracing stamps
on. The province and district also provide support to promote the product and
seek new markets.
As a result, the Tan Lac chayote planted in an intensive farming
zone in Quyet Chien commune and some neighbouring localities of Lung Van and
Nam Son has found markets, with more stable prices.
Especially, the product is well-liked by consumers of other
provinces, as it has been sold in some supermarkets and food shop chains in
Hanoi.
Chayote and pomelo are among 35 products of the district prioritised
to get support in the registration of geographical indication, recognition mark
and collective mark./.
