In 2024, key agricultural exports from Hoa Binh province are expected to continue, benefiting from growing demand. Several local products have been exported under international orders since the start of the year. The agricultural sector is working with local businesses and producers to ensure adequate supply for export, while also expanding the domestic market.

Ngoc Luong commune in Yen Thuy, known for its pomelo cultivation, was the first
in the province to export Dien pomelos to the UK. Local farmers are now
focusing on pest control to maintain fruit quality for both domestic and
international markets. Yen Thuy district is working to increase the export
quality of its pomelos to contribute 50-70% to the province’s export volume.
The province has established key agricultural areas for export, supported by
policies and investments. Currently, 46 planting areas covering nearly 390
hectares have been certified for export, along with five approved packing
facilities. This has enabled the export of products such as tea, bamboo shoots,
pomelos, bananas, and pickled vegetables to markets like Japan, Taiwan (China),
the Czech Republic, and the US.
Despite a strong start to 2024, global market fluctuations have posed
challenges. Local authorities are working to ensure sustainable production,
enhance product quality, and support businesses in navigating challenges in
both existing and new markets. Enterprises must also be proactive in managing
risks and adapting to changing market conditions to sustain growth.
