(HBO) - The provincial alliance of cooperatives, in coordination with the Hoa Binh branch of Viettel Post on August 18 held a virtual meeting to share information on longan supply and demand, and introduce longan cultivated by Son Thuy cooperative in Xuan Thuy commune (Kim Boi district).
The event saw the attendance of firms which are seeking partners in longan cultivation and consumption, along with the Son Thuy agricultural and service cooperative and other cooperatives also growing the fruit tree in the province.
Delegates of Son Thuy cooperative in Xuan Thuy commune (Kim Boi district) join the virtual meeting.
At the meeting, the Son Thuy cooperative introduced the scale and yield of its longan farms, as well as fruit packaging and transport methods. The cooperative has 41 members who grow longan on 34ha.
The fruit is grown under VietGap standards and rated as a three-star item of the province’s "One Commune, One Product" (OCOP) programme.
The cooperative’s longan output is estimated to hit eight tonnes per hectare this year.
Based on the information, participants discussed conditions to form partnerships in longan production and consumption. From August 18, businesses and consumers can buy Son Thuy longan on the voso.vn shopping platform run by Viettel Post.
Viettel Post representatives also provided participating cooperatives with skills to sell their products online on the voso.vn e-commerce marketplace. Of note, packaging must meet requirements when selling on the platform.
In the coming time, the province’s alliance of cooperatives will continue to join hands with Viettel Post Hoa Binh in helping its members sell their products online, particularly Phuc San taro, Phu Cuong sweet potato, orange varieties in Cao Phong, Kim Boi and Lac Thuy, and Tan Lac red-flesh pomelo, among others.
Currently, Luong Son district counts 905 business establishments operating in industry and handicraft, helping generate jobs and stable incomes for local labourers.
Hoa Binh scored the highest points in two out of the eight indicators of the Public Administrative Reform (PAR) Index ranking in 2023 that the Ministry of Home Affairs announced on April 17.
A working delegation from Hoa Binh province led by Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Bui Van Khanh is attending a programme to popularise Vietnamese products in the US and Canada on April 20-28.
Anyone found to be encroaching upon the forest, even if it is just one bamboo shoot, will face penalties. This commitment has been unanimously added into the covenant of Bua Cau hamlet, Hung Son commune in Kim Boi district, to protect the forest.
The Hoa Binh Power Corporation (PC Hoa Binh) has applied synchronous measures to gear up for the coming summer season when power consumption demand surge may cause a risk of power supply disruption.
