The northern province of Hung Yen held a conference to promote longan consumption in Khoai Chau District on August 17.
The conference attracted the participation of over 200 representatives from cooperatives, local farmers and businesses from Hanoi and HCM City. During the event, participants hailed Hung Yen’s longan varieties.
At the event, participants proposed that longan growers should apply technologies in production to improve their fruit’s quality and value.
Managing Director of Hapro Hanoi Mai Khue suggested local authorities and relevant bodies provide technical support to local farmers to ensure their longan products are in line with standards on food safety in the growing, harvesting and packaging processes.
Director of Agri Viet Hung Trading Company, Do Dinh Hung also underlined the significance of the brand name and quality of Hung Yen longans, adding that farmers need to grow their longan trees in line with the VietGAP standard to secure their consumption niche.
Chairman of the Khoai Chau District People’s Committee Nguyen Duc Son said the Ham Tu Commune produces 120 tonnes of longans meeting VietGAP standards for export.
The district has also called on local farmers to select high-yield varieties of longan and ensure their production meeting the requirements of food safety.
Khoai Chau District is the biggest longan growing area in Hung Yen province, with over 1,600 hectares of trees. This year, the district produced 20,000 tonnes of fresh longans, worth over 400 billion VND.
Speaking at the meeting, Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Dang Ngoc Quynh highly valued the link among co-operatives, farmers and businesses in promoting the local longans.
He affirmed the locality would facilitate businesses dealing with agricultural products as well as support the connection among stakeholders in the field to boost exports.
The cooperation among trading centres and supermarkets would help longan and other agricultural products enter the key markets such as the US, EU and Japan.
On the occasion, participants also witnessed the signing of a number of agreements between longan growers and businesses.
