(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./.
Once a mountainous province facing many challenges, Hoa Binh has, after more than a decade of implementing the national target programme on new-style rural area development, emerged as a bright spot in Vietnam’s northern midland and mountainous region. In the first quarter of 2025, the province recorded positive results, paving the way for Hoa Binh to enter a phase of accelerated growth with a proactive and confident mindset.
Hoa Binh province is steadily advancing its agricultural sector through the adoption of high-tech solutions, seen as a sustainable path for long-term development.
The steering committee for key projects of Hoa Binh province convened on May 14 to assess the progress of major ongoing developments
A delegation of Hoa Binh province has attended the "Meet Korea 2025" event, recently held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Embassy of the Republic of Korea (RoK) in Vietnam, the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency, and the People's Committee of Hung Yen province.
Hoa Binh province joined Vietnam’s national "One Commune, One Product” (OCOP) programme in 2019, not simply as a mountainous region following central policy, but with a clear vision to revive the cultural and agricultural values in its villages and crops.
From just 16 certified products in its inaugural year to 158 by early 2025, the One Commune One Product (OCOP) programme in Hoa Binh province has followed a steady and strategic path. But beyond the numbers, it has reawakened local heritage, turning oranges, bamboo shoots, brocade, and herbal remedies into branded, market-ready goods - and, more profoundly, transformed how local communities value and present their own cultural identity.
