The delegation inspected the pineapple cultivation area in Dai Dong commune. The commune surveyed and selected hilly areas in Thanh Ngoc and Thanh Phong (formerly) that are very suitable for pineapple development.
According to the plan for 2026, Dai Dong commune will convert 20 hectares of agricultural land to pineapple cultivation, continuing to encourage people to register for conversion; at the same time, it will research technical support mechanisms and seek businesses to link up and purchase the products to ensure the sustainability of the model when it comes into operation.

Tan An commune has worked with Dong Giao Company (Ninh Binh) to sign a memorandum of cooperation for product consumption. At the same time, the commune's People's Committee has developed a plan to concretize the Party Committee's resolution and implement the development of pineapple raw material areas in the commune.
Next, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Van De and the delegation inspected the pineapple cultivation area in Giai Xuan commune. According to the plan, Giai Xuan commune aims to develop a pineapple growing area of approximately 300 hectares, distributed across all 14 hamlets. To date, the commune has received applications from households to participate in pineapple cultivation, totaling 154 hectares.
Comrade Nguyen Thanh Phuong - Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the People's Council of Giai Xuan commune, said: Developing pineapple cultivation is an important direction in the transformation of crop structure, contributing to achieving double-digit growth targets in the 2026-2030 period. Pineapple cultivation is suitable for the soil and climate conditions and the orientation of developing concentrated raw material areas in the commune.
Over the past period, the commune has collaborated with the Nghe An Plant Seed Center to support the local community and provide high-quality pineapple seedlings with high yield and good adaptability; at the same time, it has supported the transfer of scientific and technical knowledge, guided planting, caring for, and pest and disease control processes to improve production efficiency and ensure the quality of raw materials for processing and long-term consumption.
Creating a supply chain in pineapple production.
According to the plan, Nghe An province will plant 1,000 hectares of pineapples to supply raw materials for a fruit processing plant with a capacity of 50,000 tons of products per year, owned by Dong Giao Export Food Joint Stock Company, which is expected to start construction in Nghe An in June this year.
Following the inspection, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Van De requested that relevant departments and agencies coordinate with the local authorities in surveying and selecting the most suitable location for Dong Giao Export Food Joint Stock Company to build a fruit processing plant in Phuc Loc commune. The general directive of the province is to support and create the best possible conditions for businesses to invest in building processing plants to create a linked chain in pineapple production.
At the same time, the Department of Agriculture and Environment is requested to coordinate with local authorities to carefully survey which land areas are suitable for pineapple cultivation before including them in the raw material zone. Pineapple cultivation areas should not overlap with other raw material crops that have stable outlets for processing plants. The Department of Agriculture and Environment needs to strengthen training to improve pineapple cultivation techniques for farmers. Specialized agencies need to effectively manage the quality of pineapple seed sources when new plantings are introduced.
Recently, the People's Committee of Nghe An province and Dong Giao Export Food Joint Stock Company signed a Memorandum of Understanding on cooperation in investing in and building a high-tech fruit processing plant linked to the development of raw material areas in the province. This is considered an important step, contributing to promoting deep processing, increasing the added value of local agricultural products, and creating a stable and long-term market for key agricultural products, including pineapples.
