Director of Duong Nam cooperative Duong Ngoc Chuc (centre) discusses, shares experiences in food safety standards ensured tea production with staff of the Agriculture and Rural Development office of Lac Thuy district and locals of Phu Thanh commune.

To further promote the district’s socio-economic development targets, especially in agriculture, Lac Thuy continues to pay heed to the recovery of some plants, notably tea among industrial trees.

The Party Committee of the district aims to issue a resolution detailing the development of a tea-growing zone based on the one of the Song Boi One Member Company Limited. The area has raked in stable income worth about 200-240 million VND (8,620-10,350 USD) per ha annually.

The issuance and implementation of a resolution is hoped to recover and build brand for Lac Thuy tea, bolstering its consumption in the domestic and international markets.

According to the Agriculture and Rural Development office of Lac Thuy district, the tea cultivation has contributed to creating jobs and raising income for local people. Currently, besides tea and some other key plants, the district eyes production meeting food safety standards.

The district is building brand for Lac Thuy tea, among other products in the One Commune One Product (OCOP) programme. To realise the target, the district’s Agriculture and Rural Development office provided guidance for local people to produce tea in a safe procedure and devised planning for a tea-growing zone under VietGAP standards, thereby completing documents for brand building of local tea and for the product in the OCOP programme.

The roadmap on building Lac Thuy tea brand will be launched in 2019 and expected to complete in 2020, affirmed Ngo Dinh Tam, head of the district’s agriculture and rural development office./.
