The organic farming system in Hanoi is struggling with the challenges

by

In Hanoi, despite the advancement of several organic agricultural methods that have yielded positive results however, scaling them up into commercial levels poses issues. The city, comprising over 197,000 ha of land for agriculture is home to a tiny portion of organic agriculture, which covers around two thousand ha of land for crops as well as about 10 acres of aquaculture.

In the words of Vu Thi Huong, Director at Hanoi Agriculture Promotion Centre, Vu Thi Huong is the director. Hanoi Agriculture Promotion Centre, organic agricultural models show economic effectiveness that is 10 to 20 percent greater than conventional techniques which improves knowledge for farmers as well as market access. But Trinh Thi Nguyet from Dong Phu Organic Agriculture Cooperative highlights on the expensive costs and the challenges for consumers who purchase organic foods.

Bui Thi Hanh Hieu suggests that to overcome the challenges requires assistance in technology, scientific and compliance standards in addition to branding and promotion initiatives. To reduce environmental impact, Hanoi is executing a program that is focused on organic agriculture as well as eco-tourism and advanced techniques, hoping to increase organic production by targeting specific zones and the production of key items.
