Further attention has been paid to the research and application of biotechnology in producing plant and animal protection probiotics. A number of probiotics and plant protection biomedicines have been produced, making active contributions to fighting epidemics, preventing and improving the health of producers and consumers. Several probiotics and biological measures have been used widely such as E.M probiotics used for the treatment of agricultural by-products such as straw, grass, corn and peanut stalks to turn them into micro organic fertilisers, integrated pest management that helps reduce pesticide residues and environment pollution.

The most outstanding result of biotechnology application in agriculture is the renewal of crop and livestock structure that help improve added value, cut workforce and enhance productivity.

Statistics by the provincial agriculture and rural development sector showed that the total rice cultivation area that was switched to other crops reached 7,524ha, up 2.5-fold from 2015. The area of renovated farms neared 7,900ha, marking a 31-fold increase from 2015. The converted areas have become concentrated production zones yielding high value with major crops such as orange, sugarcane, chayote, zucchini and watermelon. High-quality crossbreeds were put into production in large number such as blue beam, black carp, among others.

Thanks to biotechnological application, the province has developed several areas holding competitiveness such as Cao Phong orange and mandarin, chayote vegetable, Tan Lac green-skinned pomelo, Luong Son zucchini and Kim Boi longan. The province has so far had one geographical indication, seven certified trademarks and 13 certified collective trademarks./.
