(HBO) – On the first days of 2023, the first batch of Cao Phong orange was exported to the UK, following the successes obtained in 2022. This year, agricultural exports are expected to post strong growth, helping local agriculture improve added value and develop sustainably.
The cultivation techniques of the Tan Lac red-flesh
pomelo have been improved to meet strict standards, thus successfully entering
the British market.
In 2022, departments, sectors, and localities in
Hoa Binh province applied themselves to promoting safe farming, forming cash
crop production zones, helping with the recognition of good agricultural
practices (GAP), stepping the granting and monitoring of production and
packaging unit codes, linking processing businesses with concentrated farming
zones, and connecting supply and demand to boost sales in the domestic and
foreign markets.
Authorities also issued mechanisms and policies
for assisting farmers, businesses, and cooperatives to boost agricultural
production, improve product quality, and expand the market.
In 2022, 14 businesses, cooperatives, and
cooperative groups (up 75% from 2021) exported farm produce to markets
including China, Taiwan, Japan, Australia, the Republic of Korea, the EU, the
Netherlands, and Germany. Products made from cereal, vegetables, fruit, bamboo
shoots, cassava, and other fresh produce were shipped abroad, bringing home
518.65 billion VND (over 22.1 million USD), surging 103.92% year on year.
So far, 147 crop, animal, and aquatic farming
establishments in the province have been helped to earn VietGAP, GlobalGAP, and
organic certification.
Nguyen Huy Nhuan, Director of the provincial
Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, said the sharp rise in the
number of agricultural and forestry product exporters in 2022 was a
prerequisite for export in the coming years.
To bring into play the achievements in 2022 and
bolster the export of key agricultural and forestry products, agricultural
authorities will keep coordinating with relevant sectors and agencies to carry
out concerted measures, he noted.
Focus will be placed on developing concentrated
farming in connection with the processing industry and the market; stepping up
the development, transfer, and application of scientific and technological
advances, especially cutting-edge technology and solutions; increasing
investment attraction to agriculture and rural development; and implementing
policies to help grant production and packaging unit codes, according to the
official./.

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
