4/9/2023 - 6:02:20 PM

(HBO) - In recent years, agricultural products have become a strategic commodity, contributing importantly to Hoa Binh province’s economic development. Local products have been shipped to many foreign countries, including such demanding markets as the US, Japan, the Republic of Korea and the European Union. In order to continue expanding the export markets, the control and improvement of product quality and design is an essential and long-term solution.

Bamboo shoots of Kim Boi joint Stock Company (Lac Thuy) are semi-processed and packed in a closed line, helping ensure food hygiene and safety.

Over the past time, departments, agencies, districts and Hoa Binh city have carried out a lot of measures, with focus on promoting safe production, forming commodity production areas, supporting the application of good agricultural practices, stepping up the granting and monitoring of planting area codes and packing facility codes. Attention have also been paid to connecting semi-processing and processing enterprises with concentrated production areas, and promote agricultural and forestry products at home and abroad.

In addition, the province has issued documents on mechanisms and policies to support producers, businesses and cooperatives to promote agricultural production, improve product quality, connect and expand consumption markets.

In recent times, more and more local agricultural products with increasingly improved production processes have met strict requirements of export markets.

Nguyen Huy Nhuan, Director of the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, said in recent shipments, thanks to information about exported products on the media, prices have remained stable.

However, in the long term, relevant departments, sectors and units need to encourage and orient locals and production facilities to be more aware of organising the production of goods in accordance with market demand and ensure production processes follow VietGAP standards, and safe production to improve the competitiveness of agricultural products.

The agricultural sector will continue to coordinate with relevant sectors and units to concertedly implement many solutions, with focus on reviewing, supplementing and implementing policies to support the granting of planting area codes, aquaculture area codes, and packing facility codes; intensifying technical solutions for intensive farming to reduce costs; stepping up cooperation and investment attraction activities; and encouraging enterprises to invest in agriculture and rural areas.

By the end of 2022, the province exported 1,039 tonnes of crop products, including banana, longan, pomelo and sugarcane; 975 tonnes of processed products such as bamboo shoots and ginger, and 35 million cans of products processed from nuts, with a total value of 518.65 billion VND (22.1 million USD), up 103.9% year-on-year./.
