DTO - Thanh Binh district is considered the chili capital of Dong Thap province with an average annual chili growing area of up to 1,200 hectares, with an output of 16,400 tons per year. One of the district's outstanding successes is building the "Thanh Binh Chili" brand. However, in recent years, the chili growing area has decreased sharply due to many reasons such as: reduced productivity, unstable prices... Specifically, in the winter-spring crop of 2024 - 2025, the whole district only has 445.4 hectares of chili growing area.
In order to restore and expand the chili growing area, improve product quality and develop the "Thanh Binh Chili" brand, Chairman of Thanh Binh District People's Committee Vo Thanh Ngoan chaired a meeting with relevant departments, People's Committees of communes and towns on the implementation of the Plan to restore and develop the chili industry in Thanh Binh district and the Plan to implement the model of applying and expanding the chili production process according to VietGAP standards, increasing productivity and quality.
With the specific goal of restoring the chili area to 1,000 hectares/year by 2027, with a yield of 15 tons/ha; developing solutions to improve chili growing land, effectively managing pests; building a sustainable product consumption chain between businesses and farmers. At the same time, aiming to develop an agricultural eco-tourism model associated with chili plants.
To achieve the highest efficiency in implementation, the district coordinates with experts from institutes and schools to advise, guide, and provide in-depth training on chili plants for technical staff; establish a professional group to directly support producers; focus on implementing many solutions to support farmers such as: building clean breeding net houses; applying biotechnology to prevent pests on chili such as thrips, whiteflies, mosaic disease...). At the same time, carry out propaganda on the plan to restore and develop the chili industry, integrate training, and guide farmers on cultivation techniques...
Speaking at the meeting, Chairman of the District People's Committee Vo Thanh Ngoan suggested that the district's agricultural sector and localities need to accelerate implementation with the highest determination and efficiency; enhance the role of Party committees and authorities in propaganda and mobilization work for people in key areas to participate in implementing the chili production model according to VietGAP standards, increase productivity and quality, with a spirit of determination and responsibility. Along with that, replicate effective production models, diversify chili varieties, have reasonable support policies for growers; train the right subjects, close to the situation, build suitable and modern production processes... contributing to the recovery and development of the "Thanh Binh Chili" brand in the coming time.
