(HBO) – In recent years, citrus fruit has gradually affirmed its position in the agricultural production of Yen Thuy district in the northern province of Hoa Binh, contributing to the goal of restructuring agriculture in association with building new-style rural areas. To reap the outcome, local authorities have concretised documents in leadership and direction in the locality.
Leaders from the Yen Thuy People’s Committee encourage
organisations and individuals to effectively apply technical advances in
developing clean agricultural products, especially grapefruit in the area.
The district has gradually formed and developed
specialised areas for growing grapefruit in Ngoc Luong, Bao Hieu, Yen Tri, Doan
Ket, and Yen Lac communes, and Hang Tram township.
As of November 2019, the district has 610.5
hectares of grapefruit, including 250.97 hectares for harvesting. It is
expected that the grapefruit area will increase to 851 hectares by 2020 with an
output of over 10,000 tonnes.
Yen Thuy grapefruit is well-known in and out of
the district. However, the product has not yet had a brand and an
identification system (QRcod), so the value is still low, and the consumer
market remains limited, mostly depending on traders.
Given the fact, the district’s People’s
Committee coordinated with the Center for Agraian Systems Research and
Development (CASRAD) to implement a project building, managing and developing
brand for Yen Thuy grapefruit.
The National Office of Intellectual Property
under the Ministry of Science and Technology has issued trademark certification
for "Yen Thuy grapefruit” at Decision No.76495/QD-SHTT dated on September 9,
2019.
The brand is important to help grapefruit and
other farm produce of the district reach more organisations, individuals,
businesses, and customers inside and outside the province.
The district will promote trade and connect
markets to help increase the presence of this citrus fruit in supermarkets and
trade centres in Hanoi, and look towards exports.
Local authorities affirmed to continue
connecting with investors to expand market for Yen Thuy’s clean farm produce./.
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.
