(HBO) - It is the idea of Mr. Duong Nhu Mung, in Mo gardening house, Binh Thanh commune (Cao Phong). He has conducted an experiment to spread the net for oranges in his garden since July to now. The result is better than expected: the quality of fresh fruits is better, the color is eye - catching, the fruit is all ripe and especially there is a limitation of the fruit falling condition which is common influences from insects and pests.
Mr. Duong Nhu Mung actualizes the idea of
protecting oranges from pests and insects by using net system.
Mr. Mung’s family has 11.5 hectares of citrus
fruit, mainly yellow oranges, V2 oranges, and Canh oranges. In order to have
the largest orange garden in Binh Thanh commune, he used up all his capital and
effort. About 6 hectares of oranges were in the business cycle time.
In particular, while thinking and finding new
things, Mr. Mung gave the idea of using the net for orange fruit, which derived
from his doubt that lying in the mosquito net can protect human from mosquitoes
or insects. Thus, if the net is spread for oranges, oranges will also be
protected to prevent the fruit from pests and insects. As he shared, the
harmful agents from the sweet fruit to harvesting time is not only the golden
flies but also the impact of autumn - winter climate with many frosty.
The initial cost was quite expensive, about
200,000 VND per plot per tree. However, he confidently said: In the process of
the experiment to use the net for protecting the orange area, the number of
yellow flies and magnets have been reduced thoroughly. The design and
durability of the net can be used from 3 to 5 years. Therefore, you can invest
in the first season but you can get the benefit at least for 3 years. The
insects, pests and diseases no longer have the chance to penetrate, causing
loss of quality and yield. In addition, when spreading the net to protect
oranges gets another important benefit, that is the gardeners do not need to
use pesticides, the isolation time with pesticides is absolute. Moreover, the net
can protect oranges and its appearances from the frost influence.
At present, Mr. Mung is testing of net
spreading for about 500 trees in an area of 1 hectare of VietGAP oranges trees.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
