Hoa Binh province’s fresh pomelo export reaped fruit in 2023. The province has maintained a fresh pomelo production - export chain, helping boost export and domestic sale.
Members of Dai Dong agricultural cooperative in Ngoc Luong commune, Yen Thuy district, take care of Dien pomelos for new crop.
So far this year, the provincial agriculture sector
has proactively implemented several solutions to rapidly increase the
production of the fruit with eye-catching look, ensuring food safety, and
traceability, among others.
In the 2023 crop, the province had 201 orchards, 11 cooperatives and
cooperative groups participating in the pomelo production chain with a scale of
269.08 hectares. It has granted Production Unit Codes (PUCs) for 24 pomelo
growing areas. So far, the province has seven GlobalGAP certified
establishments with a total area of 145.5 hectares.
In the 2024 – 2025 crop, Hoa Binh aims to have a pomelo output qualified for
export of at least 300 tonnes, issue at least two new codes, and have at least
one packaging facility eligible to enter the EU market.
To achieve this goal, the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
has issued Document No. 334/SNN-TTBVTV, dated January 31, 2024, on
strengthening the production capacity of fresh grapefruit for export and
domestic markets.
It has requested People's Committees of districts and Hoa Binh city to direct
relevant agencies and grassroots authorities to review the local pomelo
production areas which are capable of meeting export conditions.
In addition, the department will carry out regular and strict supervision, urge
farmers, cooperatives and cooperative groups participating in the association
of pomelo cultivation for export to comply with regulations on cultivation
according to GlobalGAP, regulations on maintaining PUCs while taking advantage
of resources from the National Target Programmes for the period of 2021-2025
and other mechanisms and policies to proactively propose and formulate
district-level chain linkage projects and plans, continue to invest, and
renovate and upgrade infrastructure in concentrated production areas, among
others.
Nguyen Hong Yen, director general of the provincial horticulture and plant
protection branch, said in order to ensure the quantity, standards and quality
of the product, it is necessary to expand growing areas participating in the
pomelo export chain, and improve the quality of existing growing areas to
increase the proportion of Grade One fruits that can meet export requirements. He said the branch
will continue to support businesses to find new markets. This year, the
province aims at exporting the fruit to more foreign markets such as Republic
of Korea and Halal ones.
In the first half of 2024, Hoa Binh province granted new business registrations for 210 enterprises with a total registered capital of more than 4.75 trillion VND (187.5 million USD), an increase of 12% year on year, the provincial Department of Planning and Investment has reported.
The working class in Vietnam in general and Hoa Binh province in particular, has made significant strides in terms of quality and making practical contributions to the country's industrialisation and modernisation process. Establishing a well-organised working class that has professional skills, firm political mettle, capable of leading the innovation process, and actively integrating into global trends of globalisation, is the responsibility of the entire Party and political system. However, there are numerous challenges that hinder the robust development of the working class.
