Thai Nguyen boosts organic farming
They will also jointly organise training courses on organic agriculture for
businesses, cooperatives and farmers.
Based on planned areas for agricultural production, the two sides will
cooperate in growing 5,000 ha of tea, 250 ha of rice and 500 ha of vegetables.
They will establish organic farm produce processing and consumption chains and
promote their products in other provinces across the country and foreign
markets.
The NETA Vietnam Joint Stock Company has run the only organic tea producing
model in Hoa Thuong commune, Dong Hy district of Thai Nguyen province since
2012.
According to the initial assessment, the company’s tea products are of high
quality and win the favour of many domestic and overseas customers.
At present, organic agriculture is developing in Vietnam. The area for organic
farming has increased from 21,000 ha in 2015 to 43,000 ha, mainly in Hanoi, Hoa
Binh, Lao Cai, Ha Giang, Ha Nam and Lam Dong.
Vietnam has shipped its organic farm produce to big markets such as
Japan, Germany, the UK, the US and the Republic of Korea. -VNA
