(HBO) - The red lingzhi mushroom grown on wood by the centre for scientific and technological advances application of Hoa Binh province was recently designated as a product of the local "One Commune, One Product” (OCOP) programme.

harvest red lingzhi grown on substrate bags.
Earlier, the Department of Science and
Technology of Hoa Binh successfully conducted a research project on growing
lingzhi on fresh acacia wood and sawdust. The outcomes of this study were later
transferred to the province’s sci-tech application centre to further develop
and put into commercial production.
Unlike the popular method of cultivation of mushroom
on sawdust, the centre used a completely new technique that uses only fresh
acacia wood without any additives. Therefore, the quality of these lingzhi is
almost similar to those growing naturally.
To produce mushrooms that meet quality, size and
appearance standards, growers must adjust cultivation conditions according to
each development stage. When the light yellow caps turn brown, the mushrooms
are eligible for harvesting. At that time, each cap weighs about 200 grammes.
Each substrate bag can produce three harvests of
mushrooms. The first lingzhi can be picked in about three months, and the next
harvests in about 70 – 80 days.
By using the new technique, lingzhi prices can
be reduced to around 500,000 – 600,000 VND (21.6 – 25.9 USD) per kg, compared
to the current prices of up to several million VND per kg on the market.
With outstanding benefits for human health,
lingzhi mushrooms can be used as an ingredient of traditional medicine or as
tea for daily use. Tests have proved that lingzhi grown on fresh acacia wood
has high content of medicinal substances.
Therefore, farmers can grow lingzhi to supply
high-quality products with lower prices to consumers.
In the time ahead, the sci-tech application
centre will continue perfecting the mushroom tissue cultivating process and
developing the processing line to provide growing materials and create new
products like herbal tea and packaged lingzhi. This is expected to open up new
economic development chances and improve locals’ income./.
In the first quarter of 2024, the credit institutions in the province have actively deployed the legal documents of the State and the State Bank relating to currency, credit and interest rates. At the same time, they have promoted the capital mobilization, focusing on the solutions to expand the credit investment along with strengthening the credit quality management, lending to priority programs to promptly meet the capital needs for export - business and consumer demand during Tet in 2024.
Outside the key economic region of Hoa Binh, yet Lac Son district has utilised its potential and strengths regarding labour, land, and transportation connectivity to attract investment to the locality, contributing to promoting socio-economic development.
In a move to expedite the execution and disbursement of the 2024 capital plan for ODA projects, aiming for a disbursement rate of over 90% of the allocated funding, the Hoa Binh People's Committee issued Document No. 483/UBND-KTN on April 3, 2024, regarding such efforts.
Nguyen Van Thap from Kim Duc hamlet, Vinh Tien commune, Kim Boi district, has built the brand of Hoa Qua Son for local fruits. His efforts have brought about income for his family and generated job opportunities for locals, helping hundreds of households escape from poverty.
The Hoa Binh administration was entrusted by the Prime Minister with a budget of 3.43 trillion VND (142.91 million USD) for investment in 2024. The provincial People's Council approved nearly 3.76 trillion VND, which has been meticulously allocated to projects, achieving 100% of the assigned capital plan.
Hoa Binh province has mobilised all resources to propel local agricultural products to make inroads into foreign markets, towards lifting the export turnover of key agricultural products to 137.8 million USD by 2030, accounting for 3.4% of the locality’s total export value of goods.
The locality aims to export farm produce to the US, the European Union, the UK, China, Japan, and the Republic of Korea.
