III. Solution
1. About production organization
Pursuant to the approved National Key Fruit Tree Development Scheme; provinces and cities determine the scale of concentrated fruit tree production areas in the provincial planning plans and other relevant plannings; associate the development of fruit-growing areas with product preservation and processing establishments.
Localities continue to implement policies to attract businesses to invest in building fruit tree processing plants; closely coordinate with enterprises to orient the size of the area for planting key fruit trees; promoting the formation of fruit tree production linkage chains from building planting areas to processing and consuming products.
To build sustainable links between businesses and fruit-producing households, cooperatives play an important role as a bridge. Localities need to synchronously implement solutions to support cooperative development in both breadth and depth, especially focusing on supporting new establishment and capacity building for cooperative members.
For households, it is necessary to actively link with businesses through cooperatives to form concentrated fruit production areas, associated with building codes of growing areas for traceability and consumption of edible crops.
