The certification of Binh Loi yellow apricot growing craft village is an important step in developing rural economy and tourism.

Gardeners growing yellow apricot trees in Binh Loi yellow apricot craft village (Binh Loi commune, Binh Chanh district, Ho Chi Minh City) are putting yellow apricot trees in pots.

The yellow apricot tree not only has good weather resistance but also has high economic value, maintained and gradually increased with the age of the yellow apricot tree.
Thanks to support from local authorities, the area of yellow apricot cultivation is increasingly expanding, becoming the main crop of Binh Loi commune.
Binh Loi apricot village began to develop strongly from 2003-2004, by 2014 there were about 130 hectares of apricot trees. By 2024, the total apricot growing area in this area has reached 560 hectares with hundreds of households specializing in yellow apricot trees.
The yellow apricot products of Binh Loi craft village are not only consumed domestically but also have export potential. In addition, Binh Chanh district is focusing on building the yellow apricot brand and combining it with tourism activities.

From there, many new directions of development for yellow apricot trees in particular and agricultural production activities in general in the locality will be opened up," said Mr. Nguyen Pham Minh Giang, Chairman of the People's Committee of Binh Loi Commune, Binh Chanh District (HCMC).
