(HBO) – In recent years, citrus fruit has gradually affirmed its position in the agricultural production of Yen Thuy district in the northern province of Hoa Binh, contributing to the goal of restructuring agriculture in association with building new-style rural areas. To reap the outcome, local authorities have concretised documents in leadership and direction in the locality.
Leaders from the Yen Thuy People’s Committee encourage
organisations and individuals to effectively apply technical advances in
developing clean agricultural products, especially grapefruit in the area.
The district has gradually formed and developed
specialised areas for growing grapefruit in Ngoc Luong, Bao Hieu, Yen Tri, Doan
Ket, and Yen Lac communes, and Hang Tram township.
As of November 2019, the district has 610.5
hectares of grapefruit, including 250.97 hectares for harvesting. It is
expected that the grapefruit area will increase to 851 hectares by 2020 with an
output of over 10,000 tonnes.
Yen Thuy grapefruit is well-known in and out of
the district. However, the product has not yet had a brand and an
identification system (QRcod), so the value is still low, and the consumer
market remains limited, mostly depending on traders.
Given the fact, the district’s People’s
Committee coordinated with the Center for Agraian Systems Research and
Development (CASRAD) to implement a project building, managing and developing
brand for Yen Thuy grapefruit.
The National Office of Intellectual Property
under the Ministry of Science and Technology has issued trademark certification
for "Yen Thuy grapefruit” at Decision No.76495/QD-SHTT dated on September 9,
2019.
The brand is important to help grapefruit and
other farm produce of the district reach more organisations, individuals,
businesses, and customers inside and outside the province.
The district will promote trade and connect
markets to help increase the presence of this citrus fruit in supermarkets and
trade centres in Hanoi, and look towards exports.
Local authorities affirmed to continue
connecting with investors to expand market for Yen Thuy’s clean farm produce./.
Since the beginning of this year, under the direction of the Department of Agriculture and Environment, the Sub-Department of Agricultural, Forestry, and Fishery Product Quality Management has strengthened the integration of the professional activities to promote and guide the organizations and individuals in the production and trading of agricultural, forestry, and fishery products to comply with the legal regulations regarding the use of chemicals, pesticides and veterinary medicines in crop cultivation, livestock farming and aquaculture. They also provide guidance to processing and manufacturing establishments on keeping the records to trace the product origins and using food additives from the approved list according to the regulations.
