At present, Nam Son mandarins in Van Son Commune, Phu Tho Province, are entering the peak harvest season. Alongside conserving ancient mandarin-growing areas and expanding Canh orange cultivation, local authorities have adopted a systematic and scientific approach, gradually shifting toward safe production under VietGAP standards, strengthening biological pest management, and investing in water-saving irrigation systems. Notably, the locality is orienting toward building the “Nam Son ancient mandarin” brand, linked with product traceability and eco-garden tourism. These solutions not only help revive a valuable mandarin variety but also expand markets, raise incomes, and create sustainable livelihoods for local residents. Photo: Thanh Hai – VNA
