Among them are a 150ha Cao Phong orange zone meeting VietGAP standard; a 125ha citrus fruit zone of Muong Dong Agriculture Cooperative, and a 34ha clean longan zone of Son Thuy Agriculture Cooperative, both in Kim Boi district.

In 2017, the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development studied and zoned off 14 areas, with a combined coverage of 289.5 hectares for concentrated cultivation using high technology and biotechnology in seven districts.

Over the past three years, more than 6,000ha out of 21,000ha of mixed gardens have been replaced with high-value plants, each ha generates hundreds of million VND, mostly in Cao Phong, Tan Lac, Kim Boi, and Lac Thuy districts.
