Orange has brought about high economic efficiency for Cao Phong district. It was the province’s first agricultural product receiving geographical indication (GI) protection in 2014. Last year, the International Intellectual Property Institute recognised the fruit as one of the ten most popular Vietnamese trademarks, creating a breakthrough in the province’s agricultural development orientation.

 Cao Phong now has 2,800ha of citrus trees with a forecast output of 33,000 tonnes valued at around 600 billion VND (26.4 million USD). The local orange varieties are planted and cared following VIETGAP standards, ensuring quality and food safety and hygiene.

 The Cao Phong orange festival and trade fair were a chance to introduce the brand of Cao Phong orange, and raise awareness and responsibility of all-level authorities and the entire society of protecting and developing the Cao Phong orange trademark.

 At the opening ceremony of the orange festival, the alliance of Cao Phong orange cooperatives made debut. It immediately signed cooperation contracts with its partners. The district People’s Committee also granted VIETGAP certificates to several households.

 Speaking at the event, Quang applauded efforts by Cao Phong district and relevant departments in organising the festival honouring and promoting orange and boosting trade promotion. He asked the district to review the citrus development planning and carry out measures to maintain and develop the orange trademark sustainably.

 It is also necessary to well manage seed sources and develop main varieties, well control the caring process from the use of fertilizers and pesticides to the expansion of VIETGAP areas toward GLOBALGAP areas, and attract the involvement of competent enterprises in orange planting and selling in value chains which ensures safe production processes and steps up sustainable building and development of Cao Phong orange trademark, he added.
