(HBO) – Members of the Kim Boi green agriculture cooperative in Du Sang commune, Kim Boi district, are working hard to improve the quality of their Dien pomelo product by optimising the locality’s advantages and strengthening technology in farming, with an aim to get it recognised as a three-star OCOP (One Commune-One Product) product in 2022.
Dien pomelos produced in Du Sang commune are
carefully chosen, packaged and labeled with traceability stamps before being
provided to the market.
Dien pomelo have been cultivated by the cooperative since 2003. In order to
successfully develop this product, members of the commune joined many training
courses on organic farming. They have prioritised the use of natural pesticides
to protect their pomelo farms.
Thanks to the natural and organic farming techniques, Dien pomelo of Du Sang
have always met foot safety standards, with unique sweet taste.
Bui Thanh Son, Director of the Kim Boi green agriculture cooperative, said that
thanks to organic farming techniques and local fertile soil, Du Sang Dien
pomelos are highly evaluated by consumers. Before being supplied to the market,
the product is carefully classified and labeled with traceability stamps. So
far, the market for the product has been stable.
Son said that to date, the cooperative has over 10 hectares of pomelo farms by
10 member households who earn 40-100 million VND and even 200 million VND each
year.
Currently, the locality is working to further develop the product to make it a
three-star OCOP product meeting all requirements in terms of food safety and
quality, contributing to realising targets of the OCOP programme of Kim Boi in
2022.
In Lac Thuy district, communes have been succeeded in promoting their One Commune-One Product (OCOP) products while others are still struggling to position their typical farming products in market. Some communes in the district still fail to have their products met OCOP programme’s requirements, while others have seen their certifications expired.
