(HBO) - The red lingzhi mushroom grown on wood by the centre for scientific and technological advances application of Hoa Binh province was recently designated as a product of the local "One Commune, One Product” (OCOP) programme.

Earlier, the Department of Science and
Technology of Hoa Binh successfully conducted a research project on growing
lingzhi on fresh acacia wood and sawdust. The outcomes of this study were later
transferred to the province’s sci-tech application centre to further develop
and put into commercial production.
Unlike the popular method of cultivation of mushroom
on sawdust, the centre used a completely new technique that uses only fresh
acacia wood without any additives. Therefore, the quality of these lingzhi is
almost similar to those growing naturally.
To produce mushrooms that meet quality, size and
appearance standards, growers must adjust cultivation conditions according to
each development stage. When the light yellow caps turn brown, the mushrooms
are eligible for harvesting. At that time, each cap weighs about 200 grammes.
Each substrate bag can produce three harvests of
mushrooms. The first lingzhi can be picked in about three months, and the next
harvests in about 70 – 80 days.
By using the new technique, lingzhi prices can
be reduced to around 500,000 – 600,000 VND (21.6 – 25.9 USD) per kg, compared
to the current prices of up to several million VND per kg on the market.
With outstanding benefits for human health,
lingzhi mushrooms can be used as an ingredient of traditional medicine or as
tea for daily use. Tests have proved that lingzhi grown on fresh acacia wood
has high content of medicinal substances.
Therefore, farmers can grow lingzhi to supply
high-quality products with lower prices to consumers.
In the time ahead, the sci-tech application
centre will continue perfecting the mushroom tissue cultivating process and
developing the processing line to provide growing materials and create new
products like herbal tea and packaged lingzhi. This is expected to open up new
economic development chances and improve locals’ income./.
After the Lunar New Year (Tet) holidays, trade union members and workers in Hoa Binh province returned to work with an excited spirit at the beginning of the new spring. Throughout the workshops, factories and enterprises, they were full of enthusiasm, immediately getting to work, striving to excellently complete tasks and production and business targets.
Red grapefruit is a native crop of Tan Lac district, where the fertile soil and favourable climate create ideal conditions for its growth. With over 80% of the area being mountainous, at an altitude of 300-400 metres above sea level, red grapefruits here thrive on well-drained, fertile hillside soil. The region’s large temperature variation between day and night enhances the fruit's nutrient absorption. The local cultivation techniques also contribute to its uniqueness
The provincial business association recently convened a conference to review its 2024 operations and outline plans for 2025. The meeting was attended by Standing Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Bui Duc Hinh along with leaders from various departments and agencies.
Hoa Binh province is prioritising rural transportation infrastructure to improve mobility, facilitate trade, and boost socio-economic development.
The Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development has just issued Decision No. 377/QD-BNN-VPĐP approving the results of the evaluation and classification of the products of the National One Commune One Product Program in 2024 (phase 3).
As the Lunar New Year (Tet) approaches, the market becomes more vibrant than ever. In Hoa Binh province, preparations for Tet have been bustling since the 20th of the last lunar month, with an abundant supply of goods to meet the growing consumer demand.
