(HBO) – In recent years, citrus fruit has gradually affirmed its position in the agricultural production of Yen Thuy district in the northern province of Hoa Binh, contributing to the goal of restructuring agriculture in association with building new-style rural areas. To reap the outcome, local authorities have concretised documents in leadership and direction in the locality.
Leaders from the Yen Thuy People’s Committee encourage
organisations and individuals to effectively apply technical advances in
developing clean agricultural products, especially grapefruit in the area.
The district has gradually formed and developed
specialised areas for growing grapefruit in Ngoc Luong, Bao Hieu, Yen Tri, Doan
Ket, and Yen Lac communes, and Hang Tram township.
As of November 2019, the district has 610.5
hectares of grapefruit, including 250.97 hectares for harvesting. It is
expected that the grapefruit area will increase to 851 hectares by 2020 with an
output of over 10,000 tonnes.
Yen Thuy grapefruit is well-known in and out of
the district. However, the product has not yet had a brand and an
identification system (QRcod), so the value is still low, and the consumer
market remains limited, mostly depending on traders.
Given the fact, the district’s People’s
Committee coordinated with the Center for Agraian Systems Research and
Development (CASRAD) to implement a project building, managing and developing
brand for Yen Thuy grapefruit.
The National Office of Intellectual Property
under the Ministry of Science and Technology has issued trademark certification
for "Yen Thuy grapefruit” at Decision No.76495/QD-SHTT dated on September 9,
2019.
The brand is important to help grapefruit and
other farm produce of the district reach more organisations, individuals,
businesses, and customers inside and outside the province.
The district will promote trade and connect
markets to help increase the presence of this citrus fruit in supermarkets and
trade centres in Hanoi, and look towards exports.
Local authorities affirmed to continue
connecting with investors to expand market for Yen Thuy’s clean farm produce./.
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.
