(HBO) - Macadamia trees have been grown in Hoa Binh province since 2003. To date, the province has cultivated more than 216 ha, including 14.8 ha for harvest. The rest is in the planning phase, located in the districts of Lac Thuy, Cao Phong and Lac Son.
Turning macadamia into a plant which rakes in high economic
value remains a challenge to growers, firms and local leaders.
Macadamia
nuts have high value in the global market, which are expected to help farmers
in Hoa Binh raise their income in the future. Photo taken at a symposium
assessing the situation and potential for the development of the tree in the
province.
Lac Thuy district is home to a total macadamia cultivation area of nearly 160
ha, which is viewed as the best location for growing the plant at the moment.
Trees grown in the Dong Tam resort complex in Dai Dong village, Dong Tam
commune owned by the TH Group have borne fruits for two years, with better
quality through the years.
After inspections on the development of macadamia cultivation,
the provincial People’s Committee said that the trees show resilience to pests
and diseases. At present, newly-planted macadamia trees are growing well, some
of them have produced fruits.
Meanwhile, the yield of trees that were grown for a while
remains unstable as they produce blossoms but have a low rate of fruits.
Therefore, technical solutions are required to improve the percentage.
In addition, firms and production households must consider thoroughly as high
investment will be needed to apply appropriate farming techniques.
Vice Chairman of the Hoa Binh People’s Committee Dinh Cong Su said that the
province and the Vietnam Administration of Forestry have asked the Ministry of
Agriculture and Rural Development to propose the Government amend and
supplement mechanisms and policies which support growers in the first phase of
cultivation, taxes, technologies and capital.
The People’s Committees of districts having macadamia farming must keep a close
watch on land use, prevent impulsive cultivation as well as be flexible in the
application of policies supporting stakeholders, and arrange training on
farming techniques for local people, among others./.

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
