Vietnam's Lam Dong Province has outlined a strategic plan to regulate durian cultivation and strengthen sustainable fruit development through 2030. The provincial government has urged relevant departments to manage production, processing, and distribution more closely, while advising against indiscriminate crop conversion for durian plantations, states Vietnam.vn
Under the plan, Lam Dong aims to expand its total fruit-growing area to 51,000 hectares by 2030, generating 633,500 tons annually. Of this, 25,800 hectares will be dedicated to durian cultivation, with a projected output of over 270,000 tons.
The focus is on aligning fruit development with the region's diverse soil, climate, and topography while boosting high-tech farming to 12,000 hectares. Target districts for durian production include Di Linh, Da Hoa, Bao Lam, Lam Ha, and Cat Tien areas seen as optimal for concentrated raw material zones.
With a push toward branding and export-oriented production, Lam Dong's leadership is aiming for an average fruit yield value exceeding VND300 million per hectare annually.
