(HBO) – "Dien” pomelo grown in Yen Thuy district, Hoa Binh has been widely distributed across northern localities, such as Hanoi, Hai Phong, Quang Ninh and Ninh Binh, and well-received by customers there thanks to its good look and distinctive sweetness.

Yen Thuy pomelo brings higher incomes for farmers in the district’s Hang Tram township.

Yen Thuy district has expanded the farming areas of the well-known pomelo variety to increase income for local farmers and protect the environment. So far the total area of the pomelo in the district has increased to 600 hectares, including 265 hectares of maturing trees, 125 hectares grown under VietGAP standards, with an output of over 6,000 tonnes of pomelo per year.

The largest areas are seen in the communes of Ngoc Luong and Bao Hieu and Hang Tram township.

Over the recent years, Dien pomelo is among citrus fruits that have played a significant role in restructuring the agriculture sector in Yen Thuy.

A number of cooperatives have been established in the district to create linkages among local growers and scale up the application of VietGAP standards. If the pomelos are cultivated, harvested and preserved properly, they can stay fresh for up to 3 – 4 months.

The fruit has been promoted as a local specialty and named in the district’s "One Commune, One Product” (OCOP) list. During the past two years, the district’s People’s Committee cooperated with the Centre for Agrarian Systems Research and Development (CASRAD) to carry out a project for the development and management of "Yen Thuy” trademark.

The Intellectual Property Office of Vietnam under the Ministry of Science and Technology has issued trademark certification for "Yen Thuy pomelo” at Decision No.76495/QD-SHTT dated on September 9, 2019.

The district plans to focus on expanding areas of VietGAP-standard fruits and organic farm produce to improve quality and prices of its agricultural products.

Pomelo farming is expected to open more business opportunities for local farmers and help them generate more income./.
