(Baonghean.vn) – On December 12, in Quy Hop, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development held a workshop to discuss the production situation and some solutions for developing orange trees in Nghe An province in the coming time. Attending the workshop were many representatives of localities, units and individuals growing oranges in the province.

Along with building the Center for producing quality orange varieties, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development conducts statistics on old orange areas that need to be demolished to plan for replacement.

Nghe An currently has over 5,500 hectares of oranges, of which over 2,600 hectares are for commercial use. Orange trees are one of the main crops that bring high economic value. However, the rapid and unplanned development in recent years has led to many consequences. Planning has been disrupted; production and supply of orange varieties are still widespread, with no quality control; Care and pest control have not followed technical procedures; Chain links in orange production have not been created, and promotion and trade promotion are still limited.

Delegates have proposed many solutions for sustainable orange development in the coming time. In particular, seedling work is the first issue that needs to be concerned because this is the first decisive factor for the quality of orange tree development. The province needs to build a qualified seedling production center.

Along with that, the state needs to strengthen management of the quality, trading and use of pesticides and fertilizers, due to the fact that there are currently too many types of pesticides and fertilizers being tested and used on the market; at the same time, resolutely direct the destruction of old orange areas with poor efficiency because these are the source of spreading pests and diseases.

The province and localities also need to have solutions to manage planning work, only growing oranges in areas with suitable natural conditions.
