Dong Trieu town is known as a key agricultural locality of Quang Ninh province. Recently, to meet the development requirements in the new situation, Dong Trieu agriculture has strongly shifted towards ecological, modern and value-added agriculture , with more and more agricultural models applying new varieties, applying new techniques and technologies to production.
Dong Trieu town is on the urban development roadmap, preparing to establish a city in the near future. In that context, agricultural production is gradually shifting towards urban agriculture, with agricultural farming models appearing that reduce the area but increase the content of science and technology and apply technical equipment to the production process, thereby ensuring an increase in output, product quality and especially high product value.

Milk grapes were first planted in Dong Trieu in 2022. Through a friend's introduction, Mr. Ngo Duc Tri, Bai Dai village, An Sinh commune boldly imported milk grapes for experimental planting, while before that, this fruit was usually only available in imported fruit stores. While cultivating and learning, Mr. Tri has created healthy milk grape trellises, large bunches of grapes, even fruit, sweet and cool, fresh and crunchy fruit, no different from imported milk grapes. His vineyards are cared for in greenhouses, kept moist by misting and drip irrigation systems, and biological fertilizers and pesticides are used. Currently, Mr. Tri grows 3 sao of milk grapes, the first crop yield reaches 3 quintals/sao, of which 70% are grade 1 fruits, with a stable selling price of 300,000 VND/kg.
Based on a firm grasp of the cultivation process, Mr. Tri is currently collaborating with a number of brothers to expand the area of milk grapes, while moving towards implementing an agricultural tourism model, allowing visitors to experience visiting and enjoying milk grapes in the garden. This is considered an open agricultural development direction, in line with the urbanization trend of Dong Trieu, moving towards ecological, modern and high-value agriculture.
Encouraging the development of agricultural models applying new varieties and forming chain production, in April 2023, Dong Trieu Town supported people in Binh Luc Ha area, Hong Phong ward to link production together, contribute production materials to establish Thien Muc Hoa Paradise Cooperative. The good thing about Thien Muc Hoa Paradise Cooperative is that it has created a large production linkage area, with a total cultivated area of over 40 hectares and over 130 cooperative members. Cooperative members gradually formed a mindset of commodity production, proactively choosing to produce agricultural products that are popular in the market, clean, safe, and of high value.
Under the guidance of the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the cooperative, Mr. Nguyen Manh Ngát and many members of the cooperative have boldly renovated the low-lying fields to grow native and new varieties of lotus, and also grow morning glory. Currently, from the deserted ponds, Binh Luc Ha has many large lotus ponds, which harvest lotus flowers, leaves, stems, tubers, and lotus seeds; the morning glory gardens, harvested daily, easily consumed, bring in a regular source of income that is many times higher than the income from other conventional agricultural models.

Thanks to the above shift, in the past 7 months, Dong Trieu's agricultural economy has remained stable, achieving a production value of over 1,100 billion VND in the agricultural, forestry and fishery sectors. This is a very encouraging figure, equal to nearly 60% of the target set by the Town People's Council Resolution and an increase of 4% over the same period. It is known that in the last months of 2024, Dong Trieu Town strives to achieve an annual agricultural economic growth rate of 4.2%; annual crop area of over 11,000 hectares; food output of over 54,000 tons; total pig herd of over 50,000 heads; total fresh meat of all kinds of nearly 29,000 tons; forest coverage rate of 54.2% and aquatic product output of about 8,000 tons.
Dong Trieu today is on the path of strong urban upgrading, moving towards becoming a city in the future. Dong Trieu urban area will be an urban area in the countryside and Dong Trieu rural area will be rural area in the urban area. Therefore, new agricultural production models, with linkages, high scientific and technological content, saving space, protecting the environment, producing green, clean, organic and ecological products will be increasingly prioritized by this locality and become the main agricultural production model.
