HBO – In 2018, Hoa Binh planted about 3,437 hectares of vegetable and bean of different kinds, up 18.9 percent over the previous year. With an average yield of 12-14 tonnes per hectare and output of 4,100 – 4,800 tonnes, the plants bring about an income of 80-130 million VND per hectare each crop for farmers, continuing to create more imprints in local agricultural production.

Up to now, the district has initially formed concentrated vegetable production areas suitable to the ecological conditions of each region, such as the one of gourd, pumpkin, cucumber, leek, bitter cucumber and potato.

Besides, Kim Boi district has also developed citrus fruit trees such as oranges, tangerines and grapefruit. As of early 2019, the total area of citrus tree farm in the district was nearly 1,300 hectares, mostly in the communes of Tu Son, Du Sang, Vinh Tien, Bac Son, Hung Tien, Kim Son, Nam Thuong and My Hoa.
