(HBO) – Hoa Binh has weather and soil conditions suitable for the growth and development of various specialty crops and livestock like citrus fruits, purple sugarcane, Shan Tuyet tea, and vegetables. Many local production areas have clean land and water sources that are suitable for the cultivation of organic crops.
An organic agricultural products cooperative in Mong hamlet, Luong Son town,
produces vegetables according to organic standards, providing safe products for
consumers.
For years, Hoa Binh has paid attention to the organic agricultural production.
The provincial People's Committee has approved a scheme to develop organic
agriculture until 2025, with an orientation to 2030. Planning and schemes have
also been launched for the development of key crop production, and an analysis
implemented to get insight into local conditions to identify suitable organic
production areas in the province.
Hoa Binh is now home to 12 organic-certificated facilities in farming and
husbandry. The province is yet to have similar firms operating in the fisheries
sector.
The local areas meeting Vietnam’s organic standard and certificated by the PGS
(Participatory Guarantee System) increased from 9.8 ha in 2018 to 66.3 ha in
2020. A number of typical local production firms can be named: the organic
vegetable group of Luong Son district, the Hoa Binh organic agriculture
company, and the Linh Dung organic farm
After 5 years of implementing its agricultural restructuring project towards
increasing value added and sustainable development, Hoa Binh’s annual
agro-forestry-fisheries growth rate reached 4.1 percent during 2016-2020. The
province has identified its key and prioritised groups of products, including
citrus fruit (oranges, grapefruits); fresh cane; high quality rice and organic
rice; medical herbs; vegetables; cattle (buffalo, cow, pig, goat); poultry
(chicken, duck); and Da river fish.
In the coming time, it will continue to sustain the existing organic crop areas
and expand new ones meeting the current organic standards.

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
