This year's festival and fair features approximately 120 exhibition booths. Of these, 60 booths showcase and sell various types of oranges, tangerines, pomelos, OCOP products, agricultural, forestry, and aquatic products, handicrafts, and food from cooperatives and production facilities in the three communes of Cao Phong, Muong Thang, and Thung Nai; the remaining 60 booths offer general merchandise featuring products from traditional craft villages; and booths introduce and guide visitors to tourist attractions in Cao Phong commune specifically, and in the province and neighboring provinces generally.
At the ceremony, Mr. Duong Quoc Thang, Deputy Director of the Department of Industry and Trade of Phu Tho province, emphasized: The Cao Phong Orange Festival not only honors the achievements of farmers but also affirms the position of Phu Tho's agricultural products in the context of increasingly strong integration and competition. After many years of persistent investment, planning of growing areas, variety conversion, and application of safe production processes according to VietGAP and GlobalGAP standards, Cao Phong oranges have become one of the outstanding agricultural brands in the national market. The product is currently available in many supermarkets and large distribution systems and is highly appreciated by consumers for its quality, appearance, and safety.
According to Mr. Hoang Minh Hieu, Chairman of the People's Committee of Cao Phong commune and Head of the Festival Organizing Committee, the festival is an opportunity for businesses, entrepreneurs, and individuals involved in production and business activities inside and outside the province to promote trade, enhance the brand of oranges and other agricultural products. At the same time, it stimulates domestic consumption, creates a favorable environment for businesses and entrepreneurs to meet, exchange experiences, and transfer agricultural technology, contributing to increasing the value and importance of Cao Phong oranges.
The Cao Phong commune government is committed to continuing to create the most favorable conditions for organizations and individuals to produce and trade Cao Phong oranges in accordance with the protected content. At the same time, they will always stand alongside orange growers and continue to provide technical support and manage land use effectively; promote the application of orange production processes according to VIETGAP standards, ensuring that products bearing the Cao Phong geographical indication meet the prescribed conditions regarding quality and origin to maintain the reputation and prestige of the product; and ensure that consumers have access to high-quality oranges with clear origins.
Chairman of Cao Phong Commune People's Committee, Hoang Minh Hieu, hopes that all levels, sectors, investors, businesses, and cooperatives will join hands with Cao Phong commune to invest in advanced science and technology in production, coordinate business, product consumption, and promotion with the goal of developing Cao Phong oranges in terms of quantity, quality, and competitiveness. This will make a worthy contribution to the socio-economic development of Cao Phong commune in particular and Phu Tho province in general.
