Along with the production of winter crops, localities in the province focused on harvesting citrus fruits. Of which, grapefruit trees harvested 11,400 tons; orange trees harvested 5,500 tons.

In the coming time, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of the province will continue to direct localities to focus on guiding people to speed up the progress of planting winter crops; instruct farmers to care for and prevent pests and diseases of winter vegetables that prefer warm-season crops. Support people in producing and consuming off-season oranges, grapefruits, custard-apples and other key agricultural products, typical of the province . Closely monitor weather developments and production practices to flexibly adjust the crop structure to suit the season. Focus on planting valuable cold-loving crops such as potatoes, kohlrabi, cabbage, onions, garlic, etc. within the seasonal calendar; promote the application of production processes according to VietGap and organic standards, to increase value and production efficiency./.
