(HBO) - A project on boosting connectivity in the sale of the Nam Son tangerine has been carried out in Van Son commune since the beginning of 2019. Stakeholders in the connections have benefited from packaging and financial assistance to introduce their specialty at festivals and fairs. The participating households have also received training and guidance in the application of VietGAP and food safety standards, as well as support in tracking label usage, trade promotion and advertising.
A
farmer in Van Son commune of Tan Lac district harvests the Nam Son tangerine
grown in the 2019 – 2020 crop. The variety has proved profitable.
Developing the Nam Son tangerine production under
value chains has helped created a stable market, raise farmers’ income, and
supply safe and high-quality fruits for consumers. Locals’ intensive farming
skills have also been improved thanks to training in sci-tech application and
application of VietGAP standards, thereby promoting safe agricultural practices
and local farm produce’s competitiveness.
Besides, the project has been implemented on the
tangerine area that is bearing fruit, which did not change the status of land
and water resources or pollute the environment.
Recognised as a collective trademark by the
Intellectual Property Office of Vietnam (the Ministry of Science and
Technology) and meeting VietGAP standards, the Nam Son tangerine has gained an
increasingly firm foothold and won over consumers’ trust.
Farmers’ awareness has been gradually improved,
leading to more application of sci-tech advances to cultivation. Parties
involved in the project have also fulfilled their roles in product marketing.
As a result, the tangerine has secured stable sales and had its standing raised
in agricultural production. Buyers of the Nam Son tangerine are mostly from
Thai Nguyen, Son La, Ha Noi and Thanh Hoa.
The project has been implemented at a total cost
of 815 million VND (nearly 35,000 USD). With an output of 20 tonnes per ha and
prices of 20,000 – 30,000 VND per kg of fruit, farming households now earn an
average income of 300 – 350 million VND per ha, which is expected to reach 400
– 450 million VND per ha this year./.

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
