40 hectares of Luc Ngan lychee granted with GlobalGAP certificate

This year, the Department of  Agriculture and Rural Development in Bac Giang province targets to grant the GlobalGAP certificate to 106 households growing 40 hectares of  lychees in the communes of Quy Son, Thanh Hai, Hong Giang and Giap Son (Luc Ngan district).

The farmer cares for the lychee in Hong Giang commune, Luc Ngan district.

To realise the set target, the Department assigned the Division of Plant Production and Protection to chair the execution.

Accordingly, the competent agencies have focused on conducting the survey, training to the participating farmers so as to increase their awareness on GlobalGap, instructing how to record the production profile, sampling the soil and water per regulated standards as well as analysing the lychee quality…

Luc Ngan district now has 218 hectares of lychee with GlobalGAP certificate. The model helps the farmer reduce the usage of plant protection product, improve the fruit quality to gain the export opportunity to the hard markets.
