Hoa Binh promotes organic agricultural production
Hoa Binh has weather and soil conditions suitable for the growth and development of various specialty crops and livestock like citrus fruits, purple sugarcane, Shan Tuyet tea, and vegetables. Many local production areas have clean land and water sources that are suitable for the cultivation of organic crops.
An organic agricultural products cooperative in Mong hamlet, Luong Son town, produces vegetables according to organic standards, providing safe products for consumers.
For years, Hoa Binh has paid attention to the organic agricultural production. The provincial People's Committee has approved a scheme to develop organic agriculture until 2025, with an orientation to 2030. Planning and schemes have also been launched for the development of key crop production, and an analysis implemented to get insight into local conditions to identify suitable organic production areas in the province.
Hoa Binh is now home to 12 organic-certificated facilities in farming and husbandry. The province is yet to have similar firms operating in the fisheries sector.
The local areas meeting Vietnam’s organic standard and certificated by the PGS (Participatory Guarantee System) increased from 9.8 ha in 2018 to 66.3 ha in 2020. A number of typical local production firms can be named: the organic vegetable group of Luong Son district, the Hoa Binh organic agriculture company, and the Linh Dung organic farm
After 5 years of implementing its agricultural restructuring project towards increasing value added and sustainable development, Hoa Binh’s annual agro-forestry-fisheries growth rate reached 4.1 percent during 2016-2020. The province has identified its key and prioritised groups of products, including citrus fruit (oranges, grapefruits); fresh cane; high quality rice and organic rice; medical herbs; vegetables; cattle (buffalo, cow, pig, goat); poultry (chicken, duck); and Da river fish.
In the coming time, it will continue to sustain the existing organic crop areas and expand new ones meeting the current organic standards.
