All communes and the town in the district have areas dedicated to citrus cultivation, mainly in Hop Phong, Tay Phong, Bac Phong, and Thu Phong communes, and Cao Phong town.

Director of the Office of Agriculture and Rural Development of Cao Phong district Bui Van Dan stated that to improve the value, yield, and quality of citrus fruits, local farmers are focusing on applying scientific and technological advancements in production and intensifying investment to turn fruit cultivation into a key sector in the local agricultural commodity structure.

Apart from maintaining the stable cultivation areas, the office has advised the district People's Committee to instruct localities to concentrate on intensive cultivation and improving the quality of planting areas.

Localities have promoted citrus cultivation in line with VietGAP and organic standards to turn out high-quality and safe products that meet the increasing demand of domestic and export markets. In early 2023, the district exported nearly 7 tonnes of Cao Phong orange to the UK.

Dan said to sustainably develop citrus fruit planting areas, Hoa Binh province has approved a project on replanting citrus fruit trees for the 2021-2025 period with a vision to 2030.

To meet the domestic consumption and export demand, the province will focus on producing specialty varieties with high competitive advantages in each locality, expanding the application of good agricultural production practices, towards 100% of products from concentrated areas ensuring food safety standards, having growing area codes and traceability.

Attention will be paid to promoting the development of citrus fruit production and processing industry; and encouraging businesses, especially large ones, to invest and link with farmers in the citrus fruit value chain; and accelerating the formation of regional linkages in producing, selling and exporting citrus fruit products.
