Following the success of exporting various products from organic cultivation areas to many countries, Vĩnh Long Province is currently actively preparing the necessary conditions. This is to soon ship its first batch of Vietnam-origin pomelos for export to China.
Mr. Lê Văn Dũng is the Deputy Director of the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Vĩnh Long Province. He said that in recent years the locality has paid close attention. It has focused on issuing and managing planting area codes for many Vietnamese agricultural products.
As a result, many local specialties have been available in various international markets, contributing to higher incomes for farmers.
Mr. Dũng informed that up to now, 14 types of Vietnamese fresh fruits from Vĩnh Long Province have exported to China. China and Vietnam have also agreed to allow Vĩnh Long to conduct a pilot export of Vietnamese chili peppers.

Meanwhile, packaged and processed goods from organic cultivation areas have been available to many markets. They include the United States, Europe, and Australia. “Vĩnh Long Province is also actively preparing the necessary conditions to soon ship its first batch of Vietnam-origin pomelos to the Chinese market,” he said.
According to Vĩnh Long Province, the locality has so far issued 1,006 planting area codes and packing facility codes. These cover more than 33,960 hectares. Of these, 733 are export planting area codes and 71 are export packing facility codes for agricultural products such as durian, coconut, rambutan, and mango.
In addition, Vĩnh Long Province is also actively implementing the conversion of planting area codes. Currently, dossiers of 500 cultivation areas and 20 packing facilities have been submitted to the relevant authorities for conversion procedures.
At present, 97 out of 124 communes have registered to establish planting area codes for fruit trees intended for export. This accounts for a total area of over 10,679 hectares.
High-quality pomelos from Vietnam
The agricultural sector is also continuing to implement the project of 1 million hectares of high-quality, low-emission rice cultivation. It is also developing a plan to expand an additional 14,820 hectares of organic coconut raw material areas in 2026.
Mr. Châu Văn Hòa is the Vice Chairman of the Vĩnh Long Provincial People’s Committee. He said the province has requested the Department of Agriculture and Environment to review and clearly classify domestic planting area codes and export planting area codes. It has also asked them to develop an appropriate roadmap for conversion.
This is from domestic-oriented production to export-oriented production in order to improve management efficiency and the utilization of these codes.
The Vice Chairman also instructed relevant units to continue supporting enterprises in establishing planting area codes. In addition, he called for the effective management of production processes and fruit bagging practices. He especially emphasized regular coordination in inspection and supervision, and strict handling of any violations.
