(HBO) – Kim Boi district has gained many important achievements over the half-term implementation of the Resolution of the district’s 22th Party Congress.


People in Khoang village, Son Thuy commune, Kim Boi district have invested in longan farming to develop household business.

 

The district has mobilized different sources of funding to develop local infrastructure, transfer technology and support people in scaling up effective business models towards sustainable production closely linked with distribution. Among the most successful are the farming of Thai jackfruit, banana, gourd, baby cucumber and various varieties of rice.

 At the same time, it has partnered with businesses and organisations to develop a number of cooperative models, including an 84.7-hectare farm producing pumpkin for seeds, a 2.6-hectare farm of bitter melon for seeds, 78.5 hectares of sweet corn, 15.3 hectares of Japanese cucumber and 4 hectares of chili. This cooperation has opened up new opportunities for farmers to shift to new plants suitable to the local conditions and potential, hereby improving their income.

 Life of people in the commune of 135 Thuong Bi region has significantly improved thanks to efforts to diversify crops and expand new farming models such as the cultivation of pumpkin for seeds, chili for export and Thai jackfruit.

 In recent years, Kim Boi has directed its communes to expand citrus farming, particularly specialty varieties of orange and pomelo, like yellow-flesh, V2 and sweet orange, Dien and green-skin pomelo, and Huong Chi longan.

 The district has formed specialized production areas. It is home to 1,000 hectares of citrus farms, mostly in the communes of Kim Son, Tu Son, Vinh Tien, Binh Son and My Hoa, and 230 hectares of longan farms in Son Thuy, Thuong Bi and Bac Son communes. Some 200 hectares of pumpkin and bitter melon for seeds and 500 hectares of gourd and pumpkin for commercial purposes have been also developed in many communes./.
