(HBO) – Cao Phong district is currently home to more than 2,600ha of land under orange and tangerine fruit trees, about 800ha of which are cultivated under VietGAP standards.

The main harvest season begins in November. With the average productivity estimated at 25 – 30 tonnes per ha, total orange and tangerine output in the 2018 – 2019 crop is expected to surpass 35,000 tonnes, up about 3,000 tonnes from the previous crop.




Farms have been ready for the citrus fruit festival of Hoa Binh province as they will be destinations for visitors.

According to the Cao Phong People’s Committee, at the time the province’s citrus fruit festival and agriculture fair takes place (from November 24 to 28), key orange and tangerine varieties of the district are expected to have very good quality because it is the "golden” harvesting time.

With 10 pavilions at the festival and fair, the district will prepare hundreds of tonnes of the fruits, especially those meeting VietGAP standards, to supply for consumers. Local gardens are also making active preparations to welcome visitors, the administration said./.
