Hai Phong has more than 15,500 ha of vegetables and fruits cultivated under safe processes, of which about 1,500 ha have been certified to meet VietGAP and GlobalGAP standards.
According to the Hai Phong Department of Agriculture and Environment, as part of an agricultural restructuring program, the city now has over 15,500 ha of vegetables and fruits produced under safe processes, including about 1,500 ha certified to meet VietGAP and GlobalGAP standards.
Products grown under GAP standards have proven effective in terms of productivity, quality, and value. Popular crops include cabbage, kohlrabi, cauliflower, carrots, onions, garlic, etc., concentrated in communes and wards such as Chi Linh, Nguyen Giap, Dai Son, Kinh Mon, Gia Loc, Gia Phuc, Yeu Kieu, Thach Khoi, Tue Tinh, An Phu, Thai Tan, Le Dai Hanh, Lai Khe, Thanh Ha, Kim Thanh, Quyet Thang, Tan Minh, Vinh Hoa, Vinh Hai, Chan Hung, Tien Minh, An Phong, and Viet Khe.
Among these areas, 600 ha apply water-saving irrigation technology in safe vegetable production zones, while 125 ha use high technology, cultivating crops in greenhouses and net houses. Farming processes include smart automated care and irrigation with camera monitoring.
The city has also issued and maintained 475 production unit codes, including 270 for export, mainly for fruit like lychee, longan, dragon fruit, banana, and pomelo and vegetables like cabbage and carrots, and 205 for domestic consumption, mainly vegetables and rice. In addition, 24 packing house codes have been issued for preliminary processing and packaging of lychee and dragon fruit for export.
About 90% of spring and summer–autumn vegetable output and 40% of winter vegetable output are consumed within the city, with the rest sold to other provinces or exported. For fruit, about 30% is consumed locally, with the remainder distributed to other provinces and cities and exported.
Localities in the city are encouraging farmers to continue consolidating farmland, expanding the area of vegetables and fruit-trees grown under safe processes, applying high technology, and developing greenhouse and net house models in planned production zones.
