(HBO) - Hoa Binh has a number of agricultural products farmed on commercial scale, such as longan, dragon fruit, banana, winter melon, and pumpkin along with many local specialties including sugarcane, tea, waxy corn, temperature climate fruits, herbs and medicinal plants. Many of these products have been exported.
The province has adopted a plan for the issuance of
Production Unit Code (PUC) for local agricultural products, making it one of the
first provinces in the country to do so.
Bananas produced by Phu Cuong – Song Da
agricultural cooperative are granted with a Production Unit Code for export to
China.
Dr. Nguyen Hong Yen, Director of the provincial
department of cultivation and plant protection, said to be granted a PUC, a
farm must satisfy many requirements. For example, plants must be pure-bred and
cultivated on a large enough area, she said.
Cultivation procedures and disease prevention measures must
be standardized and follow good agricultural practices (GAP), she noted, adding
that it is also important to keep farming records, particularly in terms of how
pesticide is used.
As of October 2020, Vietnam had issued 1,742 PUCs on a
total farming area of nearly 185,200 hectares for farm produce exported to the
Chinese market.
Some other northern provinces have also successfully
issued and managed PUCs for farming areas of longan, lychee, banana,
watermelon, and dragon fruit.
The province has developed policies for expanding export markets
for its key agricultural products from 2020 – 2025, with a vision towards
2030./.

Red grapefruit is a native crop of Tan Lac district, where the fertile soil and favourable climate create ideal conditions for its growth. With over 80% of the area being mountainous, at an altitude of 300-400 metres above sea level, red grapefruits here thrive on well-drained, fertile hillside soil. The region’s large temperature variation between day and night enhances the fruit's nutrient absorption. The local cultivation techniques also contribute to its uniqueness
The provincial business association recently convened a conference to review its 2024 operations and outline plans for 2025.
