Hoang Su Phi develops household garden economy

BHG - Implementing comprehensive and sustainable agricultural development in the direction of commodities associated with the Emulation Movement to build New Rural Areas (NTM), Hoang Su Phi district has focused on propagating and mobilizing people to change crop structure, renovate mixed gardens (CTVT), and apply science and technology to develop household garden economy (KTVH). This is a practical solution that not only creates a green, clean, and beautiful landscape but also helps sustainable development and increases income for people.

As a locality with great potential for agricultural development, especially in developing the production of garden products. However, most gardens are still growing mixed crops that do not bring economic efficiency. Implementing the movement of organic farming and building model gardens in the construction of new rural areas, the District People's Committee has directed the participation of the Farmers' Association, Women's Union, and Youth Union to support organic farming households, design plots, select suitable plant varieties, and instruct farmers on the science and technology of planting and caring for organic crops. Currently, the models of cultural economic development have been receiving positive responses and have been effectively implemented by the people, and are increasingly spreading throughout the district. Based on the strengths of crops and livestock, Hoang Su Phi district focuses on building 3 value chains including: Shan Tuyet tea, fruit trees and high-quality rice products.

Leaders of Thanh Tin commune visited the off-season vegetable growing model of people in Ngai Thau village.

Shan Tuyet tea is a strong plant that is helping the district quickly carry out the work of poverty alleviation and helping many households become well-off and rich. Tea trees have been planted by the people for a long time, people are familiar with and have a lot of experience in planting and harvesting tea. The type of tea grown and developed in the commune is Shan Tuyet tea, which is very delicious to drink and is favored by the consumer market. Because of that characteristic, in recent years, the district has always considered tea as a key economic crop. In 2024, the output of processed tea and finished products is 2,380 tons, with an estimated value of nearly 350 billion VND, contributing significantly to the value of the district's agriculture and forestry sector and bringing a stable source of income to households participating in growing and processing tea.

Blood plum is a famous product of Hoang Su Phi district, second only to Shan Tuyet tea. With high economic value, in recent years, Blood plum has become the main source of income, contributing to poverty reduction for many families in the district.

As one of the typical households in the local economic and cultural development movement, Ms. Lu Gia Dong's family in Sui Thau village, Chien Pho commune has more than 200 Blood plum trees and is one of the households with the largest plum acreage in the village. Ms. Dong said: "After the commune had a policy of CTVT to grow specialized fruit trees, I and many other households in the village planted Blood plum trees. Currently, the garden has been harvested, after deducting all expenses, my family earns a profit of nearly 40 to 60 million VND each year. Thanks to that, my family's life has also improved."

Comrade Ly Choi Nhan, Vice Chairman of Hoang Su Phi District People's Committee, said: In order to create conditions for people to develop the economy, the local government has proactively opened training courses on crop restructuring, organized tours for people to learn about effective production models. In addition, creating conditions for people to access preferential capital sources... In 2024, the district has 100 households registering for CTVT, developing KTVH. The appraisal results disbursed 90 households, equivalent to 2,700 million VND. The total renovated area is over 39,050 m2. The total number of mobilized working days is 1,160. In the coming time, the district will continue to mobilize people to convert crops, develop KTVH. Thereby contributing to the cause of hunger eradication, poverty reduction and new rural construction in the locality".

In reality, the development of cultural economy has brought about clear results, contributing to the transformation from self-sufficient gardens to business gardens; from simple farmers to farmers accessing commodity market production to increase income for people in Hoang Su Phi district.
