Grapes are a special crop used for fresh consumption or processing, and are very popular in the market. This fruit brings high economic efficiency to growers and processing enterprises in localities in the southern region of Khanh Hoa province.
To develop this specialty industry, Khanh Hoa agriculture sector is focusing resources and introducing investment policies for grape production areas according to planning; in which, priority is given to areas with geographical indications, forming concentrated growing areas, promoting production linkages, and enhancing economic value. Thereby, to maintain the role as the leading grape production area in the country.
Tree of wealth
The southern regions of Khanh Hoa province have always faced the challenge of lack of rain and sunshine. However, this is an advantage for developing specific agriculture, especially crops with regional characteristics and high economic value such as grapes.
By the end of 2024, the grape growing area in the South of the province will be more than 1,100 hectares, providing the market with 26,000-28,000 tons of fresh grapes each year.
In localities such as Vinh Hai Commune, Ninh Phuoc, Thuan Nam, Thuan Bac, Ninh Son, Phan Rang Ward... grape growing is developing very strongly, especially fresh grape varieties such as red grapes (Red Cardinal), green grapes (NH01-48), Japanese pink grapes (NH01-152), Black Queen grapes and wine grape varieties.

At the same time, some new grape varieties with high yield and good quality have also been tested and evaluated for adaptability for widespread use, such as peony grapes, black summer grapes, black finger grapes, etc. These are new, seedless, high-quality fresh grape varieties with great potential to help grape growers improve economic efficiency.
Mr. Pham Van Tri (43 years old, in Thai An village, Vinh Hai commune) excitedly said that 85% of households in the village grow grapes.
His family also grows 5 sao of grapes and is currently expanding the area to grow new grape varieties such as candy grapes. Currently, the price of grapes ranges from 50,000 to 250,000 VND/kg depending on the type.
The good news is that in recent years, the price of grapes has never dropped because people know how to clean grapes. Consumers trust them more and the market is growing. Therefore, people here always have high income from this special crop.
Director of Thai An Agricultural Service Cooperative, Mr. Nguyen Khac Phong also said that grapevines are the most economically valuable plants among all crops, bringing great income to farmers.
With the application of technical advances, bringing high technology into production and changing production thinking (growing new grape varieties, high-quality seedless grape varieties, growing grapes according to VietGAP standards, growing grapes in greenhouses, using water-saving irrigation systems, using biological products, integrated plant pest management IPM...), grape productivity is quite high, about 250 tons/ha, the economic efficiency after harvest is very large, depending on the season.
In recent times, the province has formed concentrated grape production areas at the village and commune level such as Thai An Grape Village, Vinh Hai Commune; Xuan Hai Grape Village; Van Hai Grape Village, Phan Rang Ward; Nho Lam Grape Village, Thuan Nam Commune...
The total area certified for production according to VietGAP standards is over 254 hectares; of which the area applying high technology is over 85 hectares.
These grape villages and grape producing regions always attract crowds of tourists to visit and experience.
According to the leader of Khanh Hoa Department of Agriculture and Environment, promoting the linkage of production and consumption of grape products is also focused on development. Up to now, there have been many linkages in the value chain in the area; at the same time, there are more than 10 facilities producing and processing grape products, 30 private enterprises and about 200 small-scale production households in the form of households... also participating in processing grape products such as grape honey, grape syrup, grape wine, grape wine, grape jam, raisins and grape juice... which are very popular in the market.
Processing facilities annually supply the market with about 75,000-80,000 liters of grape syrup, grape wine, grape juice and about 8-10 tons of grape jam, dried grapes and dried grapes.
Bringing grapes "out to the ocean"

In order for the grape industry to develop in a sustainable, large-scale direction, continue to improve quality and diversify products, bringing high added value, in addition to attracting investment and expanding production, the agricultural sector also focuses on innovating production organization, promoting vertical and horizontal linkages between the "3 houses" (scientists-farmers-investors, i.e. enterprises) in the industry to expand production associated with product consumption.
The agricultural sector of Khanh Hoa province encourages businesses to boldly invest, gradually modernize the cultivation stage, promote the transfer of scientific and technical advances to growers for application in production in the direction of high technology, starting from the production, processing to production management organization. Thereby, contributing to improving production efficiency, enhancing the competitiveness of grape products in domestic and foreign markets.
At the same time, encourage scientists and research institutes to continue researching crossbreeding and creating new high-quality grape varieties; especially taking into account minimizing intermediate costs in the production of seedless grape varieties with high economic value, suitable to local characteristics.
Dr. Phan Cong Kien - Deputy Director of Nha Ho Cotton Research and Agricultural Development Institute (Ministry of Agriculture and Environment) said that the grape varieties transferred to farmers for production all come from the Institute.
In the strict context of the new development stage, with new requirements, the Institute has calculated, researched and bred new grape varieties to put into production to meet the requirements, creating added value for grape products, bringing high profits for both production and processing.
Currently, Nha Ho Cotton Research and Agricultural Development Institute is preserving in the fields 230 new grape varieties of all kinds with high yield, resistance to adverse weather conditions and diseases, notably NH01-48, NH01-93, NH01-96, NH01-152, NH01-26, NH01-16, NH01-205, NH02-90, NH02-97, NH04-102... have been recognized and released into production for high yield, favored by the market.
From the diversity of varieties, the agricultural sector will research and select 4-5 new seedless grape varieties from the seed group. By the end of 2025, a new seedless fresh grape variety with high yield, high quality, characteristic fruit color and flavor suitable for consumer tastes will be put into large-scale trial production; the ability to resist some harmful organisms is higher than the currently produced varieties.
On that basis, by 2030, the production model of new seedless grape varieties will be expanded in a concentrated and intensive manner to reach 20-30% of the local grape growing area.
To ensure effective production, Khanh Hoa province continues to implement the Project on restructuring the agricultural sector, expanding the scale of production, forming a number of specialized areas for fruit trees and short-term industrial crops; including grapes, and prioritizing the development of programs and plans for processing grape products eligible for export.
In addition to the previously planted area, the agricultural sector will expand the grape production area according to VietGAP, GlobalGAP, and organic standards to over 1,000 hectares, with an estimated output of about 27,900 tons.
By 2030, the target is to develop a growing area of about 2,000 hectares, with an output of over 51,000 tons; of which, the area of grapes produced according to standards will reach over 1,500 hectares, with an estimated output of over 40,000 tons.
Vice Chairman of Khanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee Trinh Minh Hoang shared that in order for grapevines to always be at the top compared to other crops and grape products to always have the upper hand in the market, research, transfer, application of scientific and technical advances, mechanization in production stages, production linkage, product processing to ensure food safety and hygiene are very important.

Therefore, the agricultural sector must have careful calculations to implement in order to bring about higher economic efficiency than before.
Khanh Hoa will increase investment support, expand the scale and area of grape cultivation according to VietGAP, GlobalGAP, organic standards... to over 60% of the total planting area of the whole province; in accordance with planning and market demand, ensuring quality and food safety.
The province also directed the agricultural sector to continue to innovate production organization in the direction of cooperation, closely linking along the value chain from production to consumption between farmers, cooperatives, cooperative groups and enterprises; in which, enterprises play a core role, especially in concentrated production areas to create products of uniform quality on the basis of uniform varieties and production technology.
From the above effectiveness, the province aims to replicate the forms of production organization and value chains that have been effectively formed, suitable to the reality of local agricultural development.
At the same time, promote, build brands, trademarks, packaging and labels and expand product consumption markets; soon bring fresh grapes and products processed from grapes "to the open sea"./.
