LAO CAI (Biz Hub)— The northern province of Lao Cai saw the first tea plantation of about 1,000ha reach VietGAP standards after a safe tea project was carried out in the locality in the 2011-15 period.
The project, implemented in several local communes of Muong Khuong District such as Lung Vai, Ban Lau, Ban Xen and Thanh Binh, will be the basis for expanding the project across the province.
Presently, Lao Cai has over 4,000ha of tea bushes, including 1,400ha and 2,000ha in Muong Khuong and Bao Thang districts, respectively.
The tea project has involved nearly 2,000 local households that have been trained to look after the tea plantations according to VietGAP standards, as well as increasing farmers' awareness of environmental protection and public health. — VNS
