(HBO) - Support activities for granting production unit and packhouse codes have been piloted in Hoa Binh province since 2019. As of April 2021, in the province, there were eight valid production unit codes (longan, banana and dragon fruit) with a total cultivated area of nearly 80 hectares, and seven packhouse codes for fresh fruits. Growing areas are regularly monitored for pests and for meeting food safety requirements. The quality of products is ensured, meeting the increasingly strict demand of the domestic market, and step by step serving export.
In 2020, 120 tonnes of Son Thuy longan (Kim
Boi) exported to China.
Experiencing the year 2020 with many
difficulties caused by unfavourable weather and the COVID-19 pandemic,
households that grow red dragon fruit in Quyet Tien residential area in Ba Hang
Doi township (Lac Thuy) are now excited to welcome the new crop with positive
signs.
This year's production is considered to be
quite favorable, and the total output of red dragon fruit is estimated at over
300 tonnes. Local households are building cold storage, packaging facilities to
better preserve products, thus meeting market demand.
The provincial People's Committee has
listed orange, tangerine, pomelo and high-quality rice as the province’s key
products. The province also has many products that have received special
attention such as longan, dragon fruit, banana, zucchini, and pumpkin and that
have many regional advantages.
It is necessary to issue more mechanisms
and policies in support of granting production unit codes for the province’s
key and advantageous products, strengthen management over production unit and
packhouse codes, and create favourable conditions for monitoring production and
quality of agricultural products./.
